} 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 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ I would really like to see the EIDE system which can actually benchmark to the drive at a rate 1/3 as large. In other words, I doubt you can buy an EIDE system which will reach half as fast as either the NCR or the Adaptec PCI controllers connected up to any of half a dozen 7200rpm SCSI drives. I have SCSI data on my web site. I strongly suggest running a 100 or 200 MB bonnie on the candidate EIDE system, and comparing to my data. Regards, Russell http://www.geli.com } 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. } } Charles Tassell - ctassell@isn.net } http://www.isn.net/~ctassell/index.html } Of all the things I've lost I miss my mind the least.... }
