I'm having a heckuva time posting to individual replies (keep getting exceptions).
I have a 1U rackmount server with 4 bays. I don't think there's any way to squeeze in a small IDE drive, and I don't want to reduce the swap transfer rate if I can avoid it. The machine has 4 500 GB SATA drives, 2 GB RAM, and an AMD Opteron 175 Denmark 2.2GHz CPU The machine itself is a "TYAN B2865G20S4H Industry 19" rack-mountable 1U chassis Barebone Server NVIDIA nForce4 Ultra Socket 939 AMD Opteron Up to 1 GHz Hyper-Transport link support FSB": http://www.newegg.com/product/product.asp?item=N82E16856152019 I'm afraid I don't know much about the different peripheral controllers available in the PC world (I'm a Mac guy), so I don't know if I've shot myself in the foot with what I've bought. Sadly, I think I'll just waste 500 GB of space for now; don't really see a better solution. I may have to bail on the whole effort if I can't get all my other apps running on b65 (Java, Resin, MySQL, etc).
