[PLUG] SCSI verses SATA RAID

[Lancashire, Pete]

Not to fuel, but there are a lot of really crappy
performance SCSI RAID5 adapters out there. I've
not looked at what is being made now days, but it
seems ever since Adaptec bought out the competitors
performance gains have not been that great.

My 'gold standard' is raid5 at 'wire speed'. It
can be done but is expensive and so far have only
seen it in a fibre channel array.
