But they don't! I have a RAID0+1 array of four 30G IBM 7200 drives.
At today's prices, those drives would cost £90 each inc VAT, making £360. A single 73G 7200 SCSII drive costs £650! SCSII drives are restricted to 18, 36 and 73G so I couldn't find a 60GB one to compare. So a whole RAID array with the speed and safety advantages costs just more than half as much as a single SCSII drive of similar capacity. All these prices were taken from www.insight.com/uk [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Ezio c/o TIN) wrote: > I really cannot understand why it would be needed such a complication > and > dependancy from the controller vendor when the SCSI hard drives cost > almost > the same (or 20% more max) of IDE hard drives !
