Thanks a lot, Malte M?ller BBS1 Emden
P.S.: My current plans for hardware are two servers, each made up of: ASUS A8N-SLI plus 2 SATA (WD or Seagate) drives as RAID0 or JBOD.
SATA sucks. choose SCSI.
anyway You are going to pay more for hardware, so why to choose SATA ?
Why should SATA suck? Several comanies build RAIDs with ATA or SATA drives (e.g. Transtec). Anyway, I get three years warranty and some drives are said to hold that promise. A full fledged server with redundant power-supplies and RAID-5 SCSI costs more than 2.5k Euro. A cheap one less than 1k. With PCIe it should be possible to get the necessary I/O bandwidth.
if You want to save money, no problem, You can choose either IDE or SATA drives, but there's no point of choosing such drives when perfomance is a battleneck. For instance, instead of buying "full pledged" server, You can buy
1. SCSI controller itself (about 150 euro) 2. number of SCSI drives (SCSI-320 72G 15K rpm are about 300 euro each)
hardware RAID is not neccessary, software RAID are good as well. It will not cost that much.
Thanks for your comment, Malte M?ller
