Not to mention that with the recent SATA drive sizes to
get 1TB of SATA would only take 2 drive. However, if you want to use a
multi-channel SATA controller with raid you will want to use smaller drives
(like 4 x 300 or 8 X 250) so you don't loose too much capacity to
parity.
I have built quite a few quad-core machines. Mostly AMD, a few
Intel. All of them SATA. Recently, I have built 2 RedHat servers for the
University of Maryland, all SATA. SCSI is good, no doubt, but expensive. SATA
is fast, stable, and cheap and certainly considered and used for server use.

Thanks
to everybody who clued me in on what I needed for duel sata,
I seen a
demonstration computer running a quad core processor with SUSE
10.3 and
thought to myself it time to update the server, I already have
four IDE
drives totaling 750G, on a win98/XP system. that somewhat works
and a 40G
Sata have been playing around with while learning Linux.
The tech
wold seems to be leaning heavily toward SATA for future
developments, So
i figured i might as well go that route for now. If I
could afford 1T
SCSI HD, I would go that route. but as it my planning is
going know, I
dumping everything into the processor.
I am going to build a new
server with the quad core that is just out or
is coming out, So far I
think I going with the Kentfield processor from
Intel, unless the
Barcelona (sp?) from AMD seems to better suit me when
I get it time to go
shopping. The Mobo I saw an Asues that I still
checking
into.
