And if you want disk space and are serving across a 1Gbit ethernet link, you don't give a damn about spindles and go for cheap abundant storage, which means SATA. Not everyone is running a database server. Some people just have files. Raid5/6 of a few SATA drives can easily saturate 1Gbit. And for a very small fraction of the cost of SAS drives. -- Len Sorensen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [email protected]
