SATA PT2

Not to mention that with the recent SATA drive sizes to get 1TB of SATA
would only take 2 drive. However, if you want to use a multi-channel
SATA controller with raid you will want to use smaller drives (like 4 x
300 or 8 X 250) so you don't loose too much capacity to parity.

I have built quite a few quad-core machines. Mostly AMD, a few
Intel. All of them SATA. Recently, I have built 2 RedHat servers for the
University of Maryland, all SATA. SCSI is good, no doubt, but expensive.
SATA is fast, stable, and cheap and certainly considered and used for
server use.

Thanks to everybody who clued me in on what I needed for
duel sata,
I seen a demonstration computer running a quad core
processor with SUSE
10.3 and thought to myself it time to update the server,
I already have
four IDE drives totaling 750G, on a win98/XP system.
that somewhat works
and a 40G Sata have been playing around with while
learning Linux.
The tech wold seems to be leaning heavily toward SATA
for future
developments, So i figured i might as well go that route
for now. If I
could afford 1T SCSI HD, I would go that route. but as
it my planning is
going know, I dumping everything into the processor.
I am going to build a new server with the quad core that
is just out or
is coming out, So far I think I going with the Kentfield
processor from
Intel, unless the Barcelona (sp?) from AMD seems to
better suit me when
I get it time to go shopping. The Mobo I saw an Asues
that I still
checking into.
