the problem with IDE is that you can't have more than one transaction on an IDE bus at the same time, so multiple drives on one IDE chain are idled. the way the high-performance IDE RAID people do it is, one DEDICATED IDE CONTROLLER PER HARD DRIVE. If you can do this, then IDE offers much the same multiprocessing performance and I/O's per second as SCSI. --- Orlando Andico <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Mosaic Communications, Inc. _ Philippine Linux Users Group.
