ok, I have a dual GHZ Quicksilver - no scsi, but have a few 9 gig drives from my old b&W G3(Seagate barracudas 7200RPM). Looking at the Adaptec 2906 card(10MB transfer) or the 2930U(20MB), is it worth it to get the faster card? I was just going to use them for storage space, but then I was wondering if it would be better to install the OS on one and run it off of the scsi drive with the faster card, but is it faster than the ATA100 80gig drive in there now??

And if I did add the drives, manage to figure out the termination properly(any help there would be cool, I am assuming as long as they are different #'s and the last drive on the chain is terminated i am OK), would the OS be happy on those drives?(OS 10.2.6, 1.25 gig of ram, nothing else to hook up to the scsi chain,etc)

Help!?!

Thanks!
