I just use a SAN for each Colo.  iSCSI seems to work ok.

I Prefer RAID 5 ADG. But that's just my preference.

I'm well aware of what RAID is and why RAID-0 isn't redundant.  But what was
the point of that novel?  Is it not called RAID-0?  You mentioned what the
quickest way to boost disk speed and off the cuff most people would say
RAID-0 for well known reasons, you said 1.  If you're right about the which
disk, closest sector comment then it's just a new one one me.  I don't care
about RAID here though.  It's not what his problem is.  So enough about the
side discussion.

But it's *not* the limiting factor.  Sure it's the slowest part of the
computer but that's a given and true with *any* computer.  So the point is
neither here nor there.

He needs to disable Metamod and blank out (read: rename) his configs and run
the server bone stock.  Then add the configs back in, one at a time
(autoexec.cfg then server.cfg) and test again.  Then enable Metamod, but no
Metamod plugins, test again.  Then enable AMX, probably w/o any modules
enabled, test again.  Then enable the modules.  At this point his server
will be back the way it was and should display the long pausing.  But he
should be able to see at what point the pausing came back.  If it was with
AMX, then I would try disabling groups of plugins until the pausing goes
away until the offending plugin is identified.

If he is using an older version of AMX (pre 0.9.9) which doesn't auto-reset
the csstats.dat file, this behavior is exactly what would happen if the file
gets over ~700K in size.  Newer AMX versions reset the stats by default at
roughly 3500 players which is roughly the max size the .dat file should be.
