The former are SCSI disks and the latter is an SATA controller. The combination would have a transaction rate of approximately 0. I can vouch for the Areca controllers, however. You can certainly achieve pgbench transaction rates in the hundreds per second even with only 5 7200RPM disks and 128MB cache. Don't forget to buy the battery. -jwb ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 6: explain analyze is your friend
