I wouldn't worry about whether it's parallel or sata raid. If you |
| 8 |
need high i/o it needs to be SCSI. Otherwise either IDE or SATA works fine |
| 9 |
with little difference in performance between the two. |

Also, IDE/SATA drives will need to be replaced at a higher rate than SCSI |
| 12 |
drives. Just a fact of life. |

I've been using a Penguin computing 1U for almost 2 years now. And I run |
| 21 |
a home built dual Opteron - Tyan Thunder motherboard. Stay away from |
| 22 |
MSI and ASUS if reliability is a major concern. So far the only real |
| 23 |
problem has been one Opteron having a flakey memory controller. Only |
| 24 |
fails on specific things - emerging nvidia-glx/kernel. Replacing both |
| 25 |
cpus next week. |
