Default Re: Differences between Snap models

Well, I guess nobody else wants to answer, so I will....

4400 - IDE/PATA
4200 - IDE/PATA
4500 - IDE/PATA
14000 - IDE/PATA
15000 - IDE/PATA

SD10 - IDE/PATA
SD30 - SATA
SD32 - SATA

410 - SATA
510 - SATA
520 - SATA
550 - SATA

Sanbloc S50 - SATA or SAS (can use either)

For the record, I have a Sanbloc S50 with 10k rpm SAS drives, and it frickin' rocks!

Now that is not an all inclusive list, there is an 18000, which if I remember right is SATA, but I could be wrong, I just don't remember. There is also the 110 and 210 but I have never opened one up to look inside. I ass-u-me they are SATA. Then of course there is the 620, 650, and 7xx series, as well as the new N2000 and so forth. I think the 6xx and 7xx series are both SATA, but it is always possible they can do SAS maybe (I have no idea, but I doubt it). Same with the N2000 etc...

Then of course, there is the SATA Adapters that I do for the 4200/4500/15000/SD10. They work great and in many ways these older units can be superior to the newer units IMO. The adapters will also work with a 4400, but the 4400 has much tighter clearances and requires a bit more effort and caution.

There you have it, I hope that helped...
