Hello PLUGers,

I've read reports (some quite possibly made by Orly in this very list) that sATA nowadays have very little difference with SCSI-based drives when it comes to price/performance ratios, so I am considering using sATA for my mail, ftp and web servers. I plan to use Slackware 9.1 (kernel 2.4) and was wondering:

1. what you have to say about sATA performance for mail, web and ftp use
2. what sATA RAID (0/1) cards are known to work well with kernel 2.4

The disks I plan to use are:

Seagate ST3120026AS (120GB) sATA
Seagate ST3160023AS (160GB) sATA
Seagate ST3200822AS (200GB) sATA
Seagate ST380013AS (80GB) sATA

Thanks for any info!
