This server is to be 24/7 with UPS? Consider the diff between IDE
and SCSI. IDE is designed for many spin cycles
(spin-up/spin-down). SCSI is designed for long-term use longevity.
I know a lot of servers come with IDE drives these days. But
that's a make-it-cheaper issue. Many of those servers require
drive replacements often.
So you're saying to serve the IDE and use the SCSI's for backup?
Actually I was leaning that way all along as I figured the IDE would
be a bit faster for that purpose.
No, I'm saying use the SCSI drives to serve data - they're more reliable.
