You would be better off with 7- 2 gig drives with news groups spread across them based on post volume and size. This way i/o is spread out. With scsi, a device can go off the bus for a bit as it dishes around, leaving the controller able to ask another device for something in the mean time. ------------------------------------------------------------- Steve Hovey -- shovey@buffnet.net root@buffnet.net
