  I have read the hardware requirements for SRS6 on Lion's homepages,
but I need a bit more information on that. My situation will likely be
the following:

-Intel multi-CPU setup with RedHat's Enterprise Linux (for 64bit file
system functionality),
-At least 1Gb of RAM, more if necessary
-One or more 80Gb EIDE disk drives
-Probably no more than 10-20 users connnected via browser concurrently,
plus non-human connections from the various scripts

    The main concern is regarding the disk drives: are we talking
performance sacrificing  by using EIDE- instead SCSI-drives in the
server? Is there a way to complement for this by increasing RAM and
changing parameters for the  software? Are there any RAM-optimizations
in general?

    User stories would be appreciated, to get an idea of what people are
running out there.

            Thanks

                Gudmundur, Bioinformatics
