HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA Ohhh man you have NEVER used U2W or U160 SCSI RAID arrays have you?!
IDE RAID - All software Driver Driven RAID, Unless you are using the 500$ Promise hardware ATA RAID card, you are only using SOFTWARE RAID , Max 100Mbit for all drives on the channel. Single communications with one drive at a time, no cache, very poor multiple access performance. Overall performance of ATA 100 is equal to 1 single 15kRPM and some 10kRPM U160 SCSI drives
SCSI RAID - Real hardware raid up to 160Mbit on the channel. Multiple drives can read and write at the same time, up to 14 drives on one channel, cache'n, Increases performance over any single drive by up to 200%.
SCSI rules man. I run it in my main machine, and my 10krpm IBM UWSCSI ( 40mbit) drives SMOKE my 40gb 7200RPM IBM ATA/100 drives.
Its so much better doing multi tasking then IDE since all the devices can be addressed at once on the channel, IDE has to wait till the first device is done with the channel before you can talk to the second device.
IDE RAID is Unstable, Slow, and over all a waste. In the last week I know of 3 people who have had their IDE array sorta stop working out of no where.
