If you had to choose between the following for a VERY BUSY DATABASE SERVER, which would you choose?
1. 10k Raptor SATA vs 10k SCSI?
2. 10k Raptor SATA (2) RAID 1 vs 10k SCSI?
3. 10k Raptor SATA (4) RAID 1 vs 10k SCSI?
I'm trying to decide how essential SCSI is for a busy db server.
Also, choose between the following:
4. Dual Processor/ Dual Core Opteron 2.0 4 Gb with 10k Raptor SATA (2) RAID 0 (or RAID 1)
vs
Dual Xeon 2.8 (single cores) 3 Gb with 10k SCSI (no Raid)
for a busy database server???
Is SCSI so much better that it overrides the CPU advantage? Does RAID makes SATA better than SCSI?
