I was wondering if this mobo is compatible with a SCSI harddrive. Thanks.

Not to my knowledge. Fancy getting a SATA raptor instead?

Unless you're transferring large files over the Internet scsi's are an unnecessary expense. The board has dual raid capabilities and a couple of decent 80 gig drives will give you more storage than most scsi's have with most of or more speed for a fraction of the price. If you can spend a little more then look at WD Raptors.

True, but if I had a few SCSI drives on me, I'd want to get a board to support them, not new drives.

HMMM, or I'd ebay the drives and buy 4X as many Raptors!

The latter.
If money is no object, and you need storage AND Speed, get two or even four Raptor 150GBs in RAID0 - that will actually saturate the SATA II interface.

You could just add a SCSI controller card, but good ones aren't cheap, they'll cost more than the board costs.
As for a board with scsi support built onto it, I don't think there are any 939 pin boards with it on.

SCSI cards are really quite expensive, and like BigDK I haven't seen any 939 boards with it on. Are you sure you can't just upgrade?
