That depends on what you want to use it for, specifically. If you're just serving web pages with ColdFusion, either will do just fine. If your web sites will have massive amounts of content (binary files, images, whatever) then go for the space. If you're planning on doing any heavy database access, go for the SATA or even SCSI if you can afford it. This will also depend on how much traffic you're expecting. > and does SATA really gain you anything over > IDE, in terms of server use and again in a > high end workstation. IIRC SATA is hot swappable if you have an array of drives on RAID, where IDE is not. All of our servers have hot swappable SCSI drives on RAID 5, and I think SATA works similar with RAID 1 mirroring arrays. I could be remembering wrong though. -Justin Scott ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Logware (www.logware.us): a new and convenient web-based time tracking application.
