This used to be the case. But there are SATA drives out there now being made for "enterprise class," 100% duty cycle operations. See, for example, http://www.westerndigital.com/en/products/Products.asp?DriveID=238&Language=en No, I am not affiliated with WD, just had good experience with these drives. 1.2 Million Hours MTBF at 100% duty cycle and a five year warranty. Not bad. j -- Joshua Kugler Lead System Admin -- Senior Programmer http://www.eeinternet.com PGP Key: http://pgp.mit.edu/ ID 0xDB26D7CE PO Box 80086 -- Fairbanks, AK 99708 -- Ph: 907-456-5581 Fax: 907-456-3111 -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
