Ok, I have just recently came into possesion of an American Mega Trends series 490 scsi controller card with 64mb of ram and a seagate 18gb scsi hdd.
Now consider this, I have the the 18gb scsi, a 60gb ide, and a 250gb SATA drive. What would be the best configuration for the drives?
I am thinking, that it would be best to do the following:
Can you think of any better way to utilize the drives? I may also be on here later as I'm a virgin to the word of SCSI drives and controllers, so honestly, looking at a drive with 3 sets of jumpers is a bit scary.:bigggrin: Not to mention the controller had 4 or so more sets of jumpers. I'm trying to track down the manual to the controller. I found the manual for the drive.

IT'S MY FIRST SCSI!!
InDesign, Photoshop, coding, barely any video editing or video games. I would use the ide for storage, except I have about 100+gigs of programs/music to store. So I figured that the 60 gig ide would be big enough to install all of my programs onto.
