I tried using IDE RAID on a disk-intensive server... once (it was a backup SQL
Server). Let's just say it was a bad idea (anyone need some 40GB IDE disks? ;-)
Even slower SCSI drives are better than fast IDE ones. IDE RAID is fine for many
applications but if you're thrashing your drives there's no replacement for SCSI.
And as people have mentioned, having anything over a couple of thousand files in one
folder will kill disk performance so that's a bad combo with IDE.
Just a thought.
