Re: SCSI--LVD vs SE...

the drives across two channels can help with contention under very heavy loads, but depending on what you are using this for, you may see no difference at all using two channels rather than one. SCSI is far better at doing multiple devices per channel than IDE. -- Chris Dillon - cdillon(at)wolves.k12
