hi ya paul, brian
i like the following "feature list"
- disk reliability -- stays up and running
- functionality -- does what its supposed to do
- costs -- can be replicated if needed (disk crash) within an hour or day
-- not a major budget issue
- expandability -- into other "file s

... versatility is. Speed comes last IMHO.
The main point i'm using SCSI is that a wide range of devices can be
operated externally. External operation means to be able to only
switch on devices

Use hdparm to check whatever you got dma enabled for your disks. From
the low performance I guess it's not...
And to comment s
How many drives can be exercised, at the same time on a SCSI channel,
before it is saturated?
How many drives can be exercised, at the same time on a IDE channel,
before it is saturated?
For example, copying files between drives on the same Channel.

Recently there was a classic thread here on this list: scsi vs ide.
I've got both SCSI and an IDE systems. Since I've been beginning to
doubt myself whether SCSI is really worth the (hugely extra) cost, I
did some quick informal testing with bonnie.
What follows are some bonnnie results from whi
