Serial ATA or SCSI?

[Ian_yamaue]

Hi, I'm going to change my database server, but I have a doubt.
I'm keeping a Xeon 3,2dual with 1GB of RAM for replicated databases, but I need to buy a smaller to put another databases without replication. I'm using MS Small Business Server 2000 with 20 Win98/XP workstations.
I think a Pentium4 EE will do the job ok, but about the hard disk, I would like yur opinion if I use a SCSI or Serial ATA. I know both are fast, but I'm affraid about the reliability of serial atas when working DBs. Can somebody help me.

Well I think SCSI is faster than SATA still, but I'm pretty sure SCSI is still more reliable than any ATA drive. If you could afford it, I'd get the SCSI.

Hmm, I'll do it, thanks guys.

hmm.. I've been running wd raptor SATA drives in raid 0 for a year now with no problems, and they're fast as all hell

but for a business solution where money isnt a problem just blow that extra cash on scsi

[Ian_yamaue]

Yeah, I'll take the SCSI. Thanks everyone.

for home use, i would recomend SATA

but as dan said, if moneys not a problem.. SCSI all the way.
