If you mean the type that plugs into a 32-bit, 33 MHz PCI
slot that makes sense. A couple of modern drives probably
come close to choking an ordinary PCI bus, especially if it
is also being used by other devices. I considered that route
but plan to buy a new mainboard to avoid trying to cram
storage data down the PCI bus.
