If it actually were, I wouldn't mind so much. But the supply

<p>It appears to me that there are now numerous options for brand
new SCSI SSDs (well SCSI to SD protocol converters). Their
compatibility is probably not perfect. There are also new SCSI
Ethernet adapters. These things aren't at the level of
performance and capability that I'd like, but they are heading in
interesting directions, and I hope they will get there. I wish I
had the time to dedicate to working on that sort of hardware.<br>

<p>There certainly aren't much in the way of options for brand new
SCSI spinning hard drives. Nor SCSI optical drives. Personally,
I'm not overly bummed as I'm much rather various SSD options over
spinning rust, and I mostly only use optical drives for ripping
their content. I am not trying to make a SS20 be my main file
server hosting a 40TB file system, although that would be cool,
and I kinda would like to try it.<br>
