Re: SATA (Score 1)

If you do research on Exchange performance, you will quickly realize that the number of spindles has a marked affect on the amount performance your raid set can provide. SATA has only been out for a year or so? I am not going to switch to SATA raid sets for high performance / highly available servers to save a few bucks....not until someone else does and has good results. About a year ago, we compared performance numbers of a RAID of ATA storage vs RAID of FC storage and the performance curve as a function of the number of users for RAID of ATA storage was dramatically lower.
