Comment Re:No SCSI? (Score 1) 454
I worked for a major ISP here in New Zealand up until last week (yay!), and we found that our transparent squid farm eats Ultra-LVD SCSI drives at a rate of about 1 a month, however running on IDE drives eats about 1 CPU a month.
IDE just generates too many interrupts for something under that much load, if your looking for something to thrash the shite out of then go SCSI, move as much logic as you can off the CPU (even if Linux's SCSI API is bollocks), but if your looking for something to do loads of slow linear reads (icecast server for example) then IDE is your bag, I'm sure.
