SCSI
For years, Vanguard Group founder John C. Bogle has said that investors, as a starting point, should have a bond allocation roughly akin to their age—the usual rule of thumb. But an important detail often got lost: He says that the "bond" part should include any pension, along with Social Security.
The market goes up, the market goes down.
Re: SCSI
But what has your comment to do with SCSI … an old protocol for connecting devices like disks to computers? You know: SCSCI disks, SCSI tape dries, etc. Pronounced "scuzzy".

Super-speed USB 3.0 has pretty well put a nail in SCSI's coffin...
Attempted new signature...
Re: SCSI
Search for bogle bonds. The first result is the wiki
Now that's an important detail that often gets lost. In fact, I don't recall the discussion about differentiating between accumulation and distribution, but maybe I could find it if I used the search box.
http://www.bogleheads.org/wiki/Category:BondsBogle also suggests that, during the retirement distribution phase, you include as a bond-like component of your wealth and asset allocation the value of any future pension and Social Security payment you expect to receive.

SCSI is alive and well, now as SAS (Serial Attached SCSI).The Wizard wrote:Super-speed USB 3.0 has pretty well put a nail in SCSI's coffin...
For large RAID servers, SAS is a much better protocol that SATA.
Re: SCSI
The Seattle Police Dept. jumped on the Crime Scene Investigations bandwagon from TV and called theirs Seattle CSI which was shortened to SCSI pronounced... Oh you know which way!
That name change went on the missing persons list real fast.

Actually, USB 3.0 introduced UAS - USB-Attached SCSI .

So, SCSI lives on.

Re: SCSI
I still have an external SCSI hard drive laying around here, but I just realized that last year I donated my last machine that had a built-in SCSI interface. If I wanted to use that external hard drive as-is, I would have to get an adapter-card. Probably simpler to actually get a new enclosure for it! But chances of me ever turning that on again are slim. I think it was a sub-50 GB drive, but cannot recall. Been a LONG time since I ran a server and with my user consumption machines, no needed for the stability of SCSI.
Re: SCSI
I have about 5 9GB full-height SCSI drives, and a DLT-III tape drives (plus media!) in a closet. I sure as heck don't miss the noise, or dealing with the terminations (active vs passive vs did it just fall off?).BrandonBogle wrote:I still have an external SCSI hard drive laying around here, but I just realized that last year I donated my last machine that had a built-in SCSI interface.
