Re: ????SATA or SCSI????

SCSI all the way;

Correct me if i'm wrong but yes SATA is faster however SCSI has a much
greater bandwith so more data can be transfered.

Hello,

I have just had another SATA HDD crash on me in my SBS- 2003 STD server
and
I was wondering!

Have any other people had problems with SATA when used to hold data in
their
SBS server.

I have been told by a furm that we sometime use when I get a bit tight on
time that SATA is NO good to be used on Data servers and that we NEED SCSI
Raid 5!

We have about 10GB MAX on the disks and only about 12 people accessing,
and
maybe only 5 at the same time!

What do you all think??????
