I can agree it is a problem. > * IDE drives die around 10 concurrent users. Fast SCSI or FC drives are > manditory for a large number of concurrent users. The faster the better. Can anyone else comment on the disk requirements ? Does more RAM help ? What, exactly, is so great about SCSI ? The platters turn at the same speed - is it the elevator algorithm seek and the out-of-order replies ? I /really/ don't want to have to go the SCSI route. I tried Software RAID5, but the rebuild after a power cut was painful. Thanks, Eric, for your comments. In another thread, I would love to know your list of installed applications.
