Manufacturer's product description
The Quantum Snap Server 4100 is the ideal alternative to deploying a traditional large capacity file server. It delivers extraordinary reliability, compatibility with every major operating system and protocol, and robust performance. All this, yet the Snap Server installs in only five minutes at a fraction of the cost for a traditional file server. The Snap Server 4100 offers maximum data protection with RAID 1 mirroring and RAID 5 striping with parity. Efficient design of hardware and the maturity of the embedded OS make the Snap Server extremely reliable and robust. The Snap Server is the only server that automatically offers Windows, NetWare, Macintosh and UNIX/Linux users transparent multi-platform file sharing from the moment you turn it on. Snap Servers have been engineered for one purpose: network file sharing. The Snap Server 4100 offers RAID 0 with true data striping performance and can easily support a department of 150 or more users. Installing a Snap Server is quick, easy and requires no network downtime. Simply plug in the power, connect the RJ-45 Ethernet cable and turn it on. Snap Servers are self-contained, require no additional software licenses, and are virtually maintenance-free after initial installation and setup. Workstation/Laptop Backup Quantum Snap Servers relieve your laptop and desktop backup headaches.

Advantages: Yamaha, reliability, tech support, speed - on a PC! Disadvantages: Speed on a MAC, noisy when reading CD's
...I pruchased the Yamaha CDRW-2100SX, a 40x read, 10x re-write and 16x write external Scsi about 1 months ago. Since then I have burned 400CD's.
This writer is called Lightspeed, due to its revolutionary 16x writing capabilities. My previous experience was with a Yamaha CDR a 4100 external Scsi which I had for 5 years. It was developing some problems, but had performed flawlessly, so I decided to purchase Yamaha again.
I have tested this cd writer both on my MAC G4 400mhz with Adaptec Scsi card, and on my PC Intel 866mhz with similar Adaptec Scsi card. Using Toast on my Mac and Nero on my PC as burning software.
I have been fairly unsuccessful in burning 16x on my mac, I keep getting the error buffer underrun, though my harddisk is defragemented before I attempt to burn. However with my PC I am able to burn 16x no problem plus overburn...

Advantages: A bargain. Easy to install and used. Good entry level SCSI controller. Disadvantages: No support for higher data rates.
...If you plug an SCSI card into your pc, don’t hold your breath because nothing exciting is going to happen. (Unless of course you have made a very bad job of installing the card. Then you might see smoke and flames coming from your cherished/reviled PC or even, in extreme cases, find yourself moving down a tunnel towards a bright light.) However, once you have installed you SCSI card you will be able to attach any number of exciting devices to your pc.
Although this is an opinion of Adaptecs AVA-2900 series of SCSI card, it is also a general review of SCSI. I have done this because as far as I can tell this is the first review at Ciao of a SCSI controller card. This seems to be a bit of an over sight to me as any number of SCSI devices have been reviewed, (such as the excellent Plextor external SCSI cd writer which was the subject...

Advantages: Speed, 5 year warrenty Disadvantages: Low capacity considering price
...This hard disk drive is designed to be used in a high-end server solutions where both speed and reliability are paramount.
The largest bottleneck in any computer system is the hard disk drive. And as solid state technology is out of the price range of most PC enthusiasts, the next best thing (after adding more RAM) is to upgrade the hard disk drive.
The Seagate 15,000 RPM Cheetah is currently the fastest hard disk drive on the market. This drive is seriously fast and very reliable, hence the 5 year warranty from Seagate. I can vouch for this warranty from experience. Unless the drive has been physically abused, Seagate will replace it.
The only downside to purchasing this hard disk drive is that you will need to purchase a SCSI controller card and cable in order for your new drive to get friendly with your current system...

Having suddenly started generating a lot of monochrome output I decided to take the pressure off my existing photoprinter - especially as the price per page is in excess of 30p.
I did a bit of research and ended up with this one that fit my needs - I... more
