It doesn't make a real difference from a players perspective while playing, but it does on map loads, and if windows for whatever reason starts using virtual memory or if the disks are being heavily used for whatever means.
I'm not talking about people only running one game server on a machine, I'm talking about environments where u the servers are continually running and where u can expect spikes in hdd i/o on certain occasions. Besides that, desktop drives are made for pc's they are not intended for 24/7/365 usage (imo) that was really what I meant in regard to what hard drives to use, by my reply to trunky's post. Off course you're entitled to see it differently, but that's just my opinion. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of m0gely Sent: donderdag 8 september 2005 18:37 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [hlds] 100 player slot server spec? blkraven wrote: > True :) > > 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. -- - m0gely http://quake2.telestream.com/ Q2 | Q3A | Counter-strike _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds
