Agreed. I know sometimes people are on tight budgets, but if this server is for a business, going cheap will cost you plenty, not in just down time but lost productivity as well. if you can afford it in any way get your self a reputable Raid controller and at least three 10,000RPM Ultrawide SCSI drives from someone like Seagate in a Raid5 array. The cost is WELL worth it. Can't imagine running an UltraDMA drive in a server. But if you're just screwing around at home, who cares????
