I don't mean to stir up the pot here but what ide raid controller would work better then a similar scsi controller? I have currently two Adaptec AHA-2400A with 4 JB drive each and 32mb cache, and while they are no speed hogs, they are reasonable controllers for their time. However, if I had the cash I would swap these in a heart-beat to a SCSI setup up. from what I know, the newer SATA controllers do a fine job and with the intro of 1ok rpm drives like the raptor (got one of those as well) they are certainly giving SCSI a run for their money and in some setups they are performing faster, I think www.storagereview.com has some articles regarding this but don't quote me. anyway I would be more then interested in hearing more. I grant that Raid is not always the one and only way and are in some cases slower the a single drive for certain tasks. I guess my original question was more aimed at would Photoshop gain from a raid setup? and where and how should it be inplemented, thanks Henrik PS: don't want to start a dog fight :-) > > I can show you a $600 IDE RAID controller with 64MB of RAM with 6 200GB > IDE drives that will outperform an basic SCSI RAID Controller with 6 x > 10K RPM drives. > > IDE is making great inroads in the RAID market, in a lot of cases you > won't notice the difference except on heavily loaded systems.
