A provider is suggesting I might want to buy an Ultra-Wide disk
(Barracuda 9.1 GB) instead of an ultra (narrow) version to put on
my Adaptec 2940U controller. He said that with a 80->50 pin
adapter, the disk will function as a narrow disk, and I can buy
an ultra-wide controller on my next computer and re-use the disk
to its full capacity.
Good idea or not?
Many thanks,
--
