[gentoo-user] OT SATA-2 drive support in Gentoo
Hello, Has anyone successfully deploy mulitple SATA-2 drives in a Gentoo Server? If so, have you benchmarked the performance of these drives? If so, are you happy with the price/performance of SATA-2 or what would you recommend for price/performance on a mid-range Gentoo server?

Re: [gentoo-user] OT SATA-2 drive support in Gentoo
I inherited two Western Digital Raptor 74G SATA drives. They run at 10,000 rpm, 4.5 seek time. I was prepared to be unimpressed, but they are phenomenonly fast and quiet. I strongly recommend them. I am running them as a RAID 0, connected directly to the motherboard, using linux software RAID. If you want hardware RAID, 3ware seems to be the ticket. hdparm -Tt /dev/md0 /dev/md0: Timing cached reads: 3080 MB in 2.00 seconds = 1538.70 MB/sec Timing buffered disk reads: 410 MB in 3.00 seconds = 136.46 MB/sec Not cheap, but I think they're worth every nickel.
