the tekserve guy's objection was more style than substance - older technology - SCSI - together with brand new technology - G5
most other customers who want similar access times are going to fibrechannel
what about just a second drive that is a 10k or 15k serial ATA?

the latest scsi drives are latest technology.Originally Posted by derekh
and they are much faster than ide/ata drives.
fibrechannel is a total unknown in this market- its even more specialised and more expensive.
apple's fibre channel X-Raids start at 6000$. i think martin in norway had one on test from apple - i wonder how he got on.
I dont know of a cheaper solution - but i never looked.

All current ata drives - except the raptor drives from western digital run at 7200rpm.
the raptors run at 10000rpm, but only go up to 75gb.
The latest generation of scsi drives, go up to 300gb at 15000 and 10000rpm.
Raptor drives work pretty well with catalyst - but 75gb is not enough for a lot of people for a content drive.
