Links for SCSI info?

[IFMU]

Ok, I am planning on going with some scsi drives soon and am interested in tryin to save a few bucks, so in turn, want to go used... only drawback, is I dont know jack squat really. Ive read the sticky with the links for the RAID info, which did help some. But it still fails to point out alot of the SCSI info Im needing.
Whats 80pin, 50 pin, the different styles (types) UltraWide is what? 50pin?
Id like answers, but could settle for links. LoL

Anything that could help me read up and see whats available and what exactly is what.

9.1 gb Seagate SCSI 80pin SCA Model # ST19171WC (8x) =value 25 =UNB
9.1 gb Seagate SCSI II 50 pin Model # ST19171N =value 25 =UNB

Those are some drives available, remotely interested in buying, but, I dont know whats what when it comes down to it with SCSI. So, Im lookin for links with some better SCSI info on them.

TIA

Those drives are 7200 RPM and a bit pricey. They will need adapters as well and are pertty slow. Here's a link to bulk purchase the 80 pin:

Avoid the 50 pin drives like the plague if you can. It's a narrow interface and PIO mode IDE is almost as fast.

This site has a couple of links:

Also the Adaptec support is fairly good.

There are tons of other SCSI sites. What technical level are you interested in?

Thanks for the links, Ill be reading those up soon.

Basiclly, I would like to know the differences when Im looking at 80pin, 50 pin etc. Some of that is what Im interested in learning. Most as time goes on, but for the moment at least.

How can you just look at something, like the quote above, and know they are only 7200rpm?

Hrm... kinda hard to explain.. basiclly, just need to learn whats available on learning on scsi stuff.
