Hello,
Has anyone successfully deploy mulitple SATA-2 drives in a Gentoo Server?
If so, have you benchmarked the performance of these drives?
If so, are you happy with the price/performance of SATA-2
or what would you recommend for price/performance on a mid-range
Gentoo server?
Any specfic controller cards recommendations for SATA(2) are
of interest too.
TIA,
James

I inherited two Western Digital Raptor 74G SATA drives. They run at 10,000
rpm, 4.5 seek time. I was prepared to be unimpressed, but they are
phenomenonly fast and quiet. I strongly recommend them.
I am running them as a RAID 0, connected directly to the motherboard, using
linux software RAID.
If you want hardware RAID, 3ware seems to be the ticket.
hdparm -Tt /dev/md0
/dev/md0:
Timing cached reads: 3080 MB in 2.00 seconds = 1538.70 MB/sec
Timing buffered disk reads: 410 MB in 3.00 seconds = 136.46 MB/sec
Not cheap, but I think they're worth every nickel.

Those are impressive numbers.
Thanks,

Not sure.. but hdparm is supposed to be only accurate for IDE isn't it?

I would check the list of supported hardware from make menuconfig.
