... I just picked up a used internal drive fairly cheaply on ebay. It's a 68-pin LVD/SE type, I do have a 68-50 pin adapter to go with it... I guess what my questions are:
1) Do you take a speed hit by going 68 pin to 50 pin via the adapter rather than using the 68 pin with the corresponding cable? I'm pretty sure the card I'll be using it with has both connector types.
2) This drive apparently doesn't have onboard termination. I take it then I need a terminator which fits on the internal cable?
