Well... Not to egg things on but I would be interested in everyones take on this. Personally I've got 10k U160 drives in two of my PCs at home. One PC is IDE as are the servers. I know I know, kinda stupid. But my servers don't do much but store mp3s. :P
Now, I'm getting ready to set up a server for my training room. I'm going to be running Linux on it. I'm going to use it to store Ghost images. I'll be restoring the images on 15 computers at a time. As long as I can get all the computers done in 60 min I'm happy. I really have 2 hours but... >From what I could tell current top of the line IDE hard drives can put out 30MB/sec where current top of the line SCSI hard drives can put out 40MB/sec. I got this information from storagereview.com. I haven't seen the test results on the 10k SATA drives yet but I don't think I would go that way. Please correct me if I'm wrong but isn't Linux's support for SCSI hard drives much better than it's support for UDMA chipsets? Won't I have a better chance getting the drive's maximum performance if I go SCSI? If that's not true, then I would prefer to save the money and go IDE. > On Wed, 2003-03-12 at 23:16, Ronin wrote: >> What I find most funny is that everyone else is wrong and he is right. >> Typical child mentality.
