"Dependability: Most high-end SCSI hard drives are quite expensive but there are good reasons for it. They can sustain higher temperatures and stay mechanically functional despite the expansion of the metal parts with temperature and and generelly have better build quality. The net result is that they are the natural choice for enterprise server applications. Connectors suitable for hot-swapping drives in RAID-systems is something only SCSI boasts, and helps maintaining large disk arrays where down-time is unacceptable. "

There will be only one large application j2ee/cfm app. running on the boxes, and 2 gigs DDR ram. The DB will be on a separate box with scsi raid0 & raid5. There will be a separate box doing backup of code, deployment settings etc.. There will be a separate dev box (where there may be debug versions with heavy logging etc.) The question I have is about SCSI, RAID 0 against IDE. Considering the above and that a lot of the application will be in memory, will it make much difference to use IDE against SCSI in this situation?
