since you'll be using two disks on the same ide controller, you'll be limited to disk mirroring/duplexing. i suggest that you use duplexing para mas maganda yung performance.
A word of caution, nasunugan na ako ng ide drives at the same time :) di ko alam kung cheap yung parts or baka may mumu lang :) anyway for better performance and your money's worth, go with scsi. > We are planning to buy a couple of servers to be used primarily > as www + database servers [ie. a content management system]. > We now need a > (hardware) RAID system for these.
