It will likely perform better and the difference may increase when a ouple of FreeBSD problems get solved. SCSI would be nice, but that is much more expensive. I'd say multiprocessor would be more important. For a high hit rate, DSCSI is much better though. Towers are easy to work on. Racks you gotta disassebmle mostly. Depends if it is going to stay static or undergo change.
