Re: [GENERAL] SCSI disk: still the way to go?

[Ets ROLLAND]

Hello,   3 weeks ago I install a PostgreSQL 8.1.3 server on Windows 2003 server standar edition. The box is a NEC express5800 TM800 with 4 SATA/300 250 Gb 7200 rpm in RAID10 (0+1). It works fine, faster than the old server ALTOS with SCSI-3 disks Ultra160 10000 rpm. I upgraded to 8.1.4. The embded RAID controler is based on an Intel chipset. SATA seem convenient.   Luc ----- Original Message ----- From: Riccardo Inverni To: pgsql-general@postgresql.org Sent: Tuesday, May 30, 2006 11:28 PM Subject: [GENERAL] SCSI disk: still the way to go? Hi guys,    I have to update a Linux box with PostgreSQL on it, essentially for data warehousing purposes. I had set it up about 3 years ago and at that time the best solution I had been recommended was to use SCSI disks with hardware RAID controllers.    Is this still the way to go or things have recently changed? Any other suggestion/advice? What about SAN?    Thanks. Cheers, Riccardo
