Re: Has the port collection become to large to handle.

maybe this is a bit off target, but it seems to me the ports tree is not too large: I've found stuff I've wanted that wasn't on the ports tree. I think it's too small. Unless you are on a 56k, but then everything ports related will be painful. However a reoganization could be in order...

Re: OT: Torn between SCSI and SATA for RAID

2006-05-10 Thread Jim Stapleton
I've found that scsi isn't exceptionally faster given similar RPMs, or even slightly higher RPM (ex. a 10K RPM SCSI vs. 10K RPM SATA drive would have simlar performance). However, SCSI tends to high tighter standards, and you get the following advantages, which in some cases are worth the money,

That doesn't sound like a backup to me. dd isn't a backup program, and CDs are not normally things you back up. A backup is just a copy of the data on a different media than the source (in this case, a hard drive). People back up CDs alll the time, in case they get scratched or damaged, and
