Re:just a small note about scsi vs. ide (Score 1)

If planning to build raid5 arrays the
physical limits of IDE might become a
issue.

I don't know if it's reasonable to plug
raid5 array disks as IDE slaves. But i would go
for SCSI if you do big raid5 arrays.

With 5 ULTRA2 fast and wide scsi in raid5
array (software raid5 in Linux) i have seen
reports of 40MB/s read and write throughput.

And if you have dough, buy 2 controllers
and put raid5 array on both. And stripe among them
