    nice review; well done

    While contemplating the scsi4me.com deals you posted (through 6/30) - an whether or not scsi (15k cheetahs) or sata (10k Raptors) - i'm curious as to how these compare in all aspects (performance / heat / noise / reliability / price per GB). I understand the costs of the scsi will also require an scsi card (adaptec no doubt), and that any 15k is 'usually' more expensive inherently (especially per GB).

    I guess I'm leaning towards a SATA approach for now, mostly b/c while the scsi solution may own in some areas - I think no matter which I'm going to need a newer Setup (Mobo/CPU/RAM, etc) anyway to handle the higher data tranfer rates.

    *edit;
    PM me if you think I should start a thread related to this instead, if only to keep this sticky kinda "clean"
