I was not thinking of scsi myself, more of something like WD's Raptor
10Krpm
sata disks, their just a tad higher priced then normal sata.
I would be suprised if 5400RPM drives showed any noticeable difference
on a server only running HLDS.

FWIW, for a while I ran my OP4 server form a network share. There were no
noticable performance differences, map changes were not even slowed down.
I'm currently running my OP4 server from an old 6GB Western Digital drive,
and before that ran it from an old Maxtor 2.5GB drive. Performance was
great, map changes were quite fast. HLDS during normal server operation does
not use a significant amount of disk I/O, and map changes use such a small
amount of disk I/O that loading it from a network share didn't slow things
down any. Unless you are running a lot of busy servers and maybe other disk
intensive stuff on the same box, you are wasting money with high priced
super fast drives.
