SCSI2SD SCSI Hard Drive Emulator Product Review

Follow
Branchus Creations

The SCSI2SD is a solid state alternative to the mechanical SCSI hard drives. Focused mainly around the use in vintage Macintosh computers, this product review goes over the different SCSI2SD models currently available and discusses the various pros and cons of each one.

IMPORTANT ADDENDUM
While I state in this video that Macs can't take advantage of the SCSI2SD v6 faster synchronous speeds, strictly speaking this is not the case. Although it is true that the Macs can't utilise synchronous transfers, in my benchmark tests the v6 is significantly faster than the other SCSI2SD models.

Australians can now buy SCSI2SD from the local reseller here:
