Having used IDE and SCSI disks, when I'm serious about performance, IDE doesn't even enter my mind. Also, over on the XFS list, there are a few people that have been using 3ware cards, and it sounds like there are still some serious caveats/bugs to them. Myself, I much prefer a good SCSI RAID card that's going to work, and going to work well. (As an aside, one person was in a heated argument about how much cheaper IDE was than SCSI. I got on pricewatch, found some prices, and would have been able to put together a very fast SCSI system for the same price as his IDE array.) steve ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 4: Don't 'kill -9' the postmaster
