My own tests show that 15K RPM ultra 320 SCSI drives are considerably faster than any IDE storage. This ATA drive: http://www.wdc.com/en/products/WD360GD.asp Performs as well or better than many SCSI drives, and are not terribly expensive. Therefore, these are a very good choice if price performance is more important than absolute performance. But if you need absolute horsepower, then one of these (or other 15K Ultra320 equivalent) won't be beaten: http://www.storagereview.com/articles/200304/200304068C073x0_1.html ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 2: you can get off all lists at once with the unregister command (send "unregister YourEmailAddressHere" to [EMAIL PROTECTED])
