I'm setting up an ISP for a guy who REALLY wants to use EIDE 4 drives (transfer rate around 12 meg/s I think he said) Now considering the fact that all PCI boards come with build in EIDE controllers in them, why is everyone so big on SCSI? I'd personally rather use SCSI myself, just because I have doubts as to whether or not EIDE is really as stable as they say, but I may be outvoted in this. Can anyone out there come up with some convincing arguments why to go SCSI? BTW: The machine is going to be an all-in one server: news, mail, WWW, DNS, terminal server (yey! this wont crash often <S>) And, we might run BSD instead of FreeBSD.
