lol... :banana:
You know, if you could offer me a quad opteron system with like 20 Raptor 10k drives and some really awesome RAID card(s), I might do that..
The only down-side to SCSI as we all know are the prices for the drives. I think the SAS hard drives for my new server cost more than the dang server. For web hosting companies, it is a lot cheaper to offer the SATA drives and an opteron box than messing with SCSI. I tried and tried to get a few different dedicated server providers to put together a good deal for me using Opterons and SCSI HD's/RAID and every time we tried to work in the SCSI u320 drives and RAID card it priced it way up beyond what I wanted to pay. I'll for sure go with them (10k SATA) when I need new web servers but not for data base.
Ok, I'll shut up now
