Jay481985 Posted May 22, 2006 Share Posted May 22, 2006 SCSI, too expensive and slow. get SATA raid but don't use the piece of shit on board controllers get a 3ware card. i crush the perfomance benchmarks on any SCSI system. get the fastest spinning SATA with the biggest cache you can afford. priority is on cache then rpm's ummm scsi is much more faster just more $$$ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yank_in_oz Posted May 22, 2006 Share Posted May 22, 2006 umm, sorry, SATA II for cost/IO in a raid configuration rulz, SCSI sucks. i've had both, SCSI arrays with 10k cheetah and current 3ware. 3ware crushes SCSI in $/IO in raid 0 or 5. so for same cost of a SCSI raid, i can more than double maybe triple the size of SATA with 75MB/s sustained hard pulls of huge video files.

TheEAR Posted May 25, 2006 Share Posted May 25, 2006 The fastest SATA drive right now is the Western Digital Raptor 150GB,nothing EIDE or SATA matches it. The fastest SCSI drive and fastest hard drive is the Maxtor 15K2 147GB ,it outpaces the Raptor 150.Almost sustaining 100MB/SEC! For a single drive! So drive for drive SCSI beasts EIDE and SATA. No contest,and multitasking again a one sided beating. For the price however SATA is the ideal choice,plenty of speed and several times the capacity for the same cost.

TheEAR Posted May 25, 2006 Share Posted May 25, 2006 with two only 2 sata's i can pull 90MB/s of sustained video. You said it two.One Maxtor 147GB 15K2 SCSI can do this and more. Talking performance only here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
