Was reading the article about the proliant server. I was shock that they
offer ATA100 on the drive system. I know Ok so its raid ATA but my
impression has always been that IDE should be no where near server
platforms. Anyone have more experience with this? Do these server machines
running ATA stand up well in the real world.
ATA-100? Are you sure? ATA-100 is a little long in the tooth.
IDE has grown up. The only real difference between SCSI and IDE drives
is the electronics board. The drives are often identical (it's been
that way for quite some time). IDE is now faster and cheaper than
SCSI, so there is no reason for the expense of SCSI on a small system.
My Tyan 2875S (single-processor version of a dual Opteron server board)
has IDE (2) and SATA (4) channels.
