In my experience ATA drives really lack when it comes to seek times and contention, e.g. heavy copying between 2 drives while trying to do normal accesses to one of them. SCSI drives somehow manage to more gracefully handle that sort of thing. Probably a benefit of the Tagged Queuing which they pretty much all support. --- Gary Jennejohn / garyj[at]jennejohn.org gj[at]freebsd.org garyj[at]denx.de _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
