Whatever your many reasons, using that stuff for Asterisk is a waste of money but go crazy if you want!

This is just not true. If you want the best performing drives out there today, you'll be using SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) or Fibre Channel. There are still 3.5" LVD SCSI drives (the old parallel style) that beat the pants off the fastest competing SATA drives because they spin at 15K RPM and have longer MTBFs. Yes, these drives cost more than SATA, but there are many reasons to use them. -- Shaw Terwilliger <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> SourceGear LLC _______________________________________________ --Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com-- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
