That is a pretty strong assumption, isn't it? Also you seem to be assuming that the controller<->disk protocol (some internal, unknown to mere mortals, mechanism) is equally powerful than the host<->controller (SATA, SCSI, etc). I'm lost whether this thread is about what is possible with current, in-market technology, or about what could in theory be possible [if you were to design "open source" disk controllers and disks.] -- Alvaro Herrera (<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>) "La fuerza no está en los medios físicos sino que reside en una voluntad indomable" (Gandhi) ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 6: Have you searched our list archives? http://archives.postgresql.org
