hey all:

was just wondering if anyone here could educate me on the SCSI SAS drives and whether its practical to use in a gaming tower? Has anyone used one of these instead of say, a RAPTOR X? Is it possible to get better performance from these?

If it is feasible to use one, how would one hook up a SAS SCSI to a mobo? Im currently running an A8N32 SLI board. That said, i have the eSATA port, regular sata port and the raid config ports.

Thanks guys

system:

A8N32 SLI
XFX 7800GT x 2 (SLI)
3 gigs OCZ platinum EL RAM PC3200
Audigy 2 ZS
OCZ powerstream 600W PSU
Opty 185 @ 2.6gHz

gigabyte G power pro heatsink
