Maxtor Atlas is the absolute BEST SCSI drive out there..
their IDE/SATA drives aren't great but the Atlas line is Flawless.

Perhaps for multi-user applications but when it comes to single-user environments the Fujitsu MAU series wipes the flood with everything else.
Kone: Look for a Dell Perc4e on Ebay. It is an LSI card that is usually much cheaper because of the Dell branding.
Thanks for the advice :toast:
The Fujitsu's should be fastest, last I checked.
RAID-0 for OS when you run single applications == not a speed advantage over single disks, BTW.

I believe we have all heard your Raid1 suggestion for a performance boost.

Obviously not, otherwise the same question wouldn't come up twice a day.

Perhaps you should make a post with lots of statistics/facts
Perform All major Benchmarks
and compare Raid0, Raid1, Raid5, Raid6, raid 10, and Raid 0+1
It would require a good raid card
but it would be one hell of a case for that..
Then have a mod sticky it..
Then we can just link to it.. and let the noobs be educated.

Well said! Atlas series are the very best drives in terms of performance.
Too bad that the Atlas drive won't live long after Seagate-Maxtor merge though :(

Well, I don't run Windoze, so many of the "major benchmarks" are out right there. Not to mention most of them are useless.
Again, I have the major RAID levels under Linux compared here, with some solid benchmarks:

I would like to re-do these benchmarks using hardware RAID controllers, but at this time the disks are solid locked in my server and I can't rip them out. Not to mention I don't expect to ever use a hardware raid controller myself, so buying a couple just for the test would be overkill.
I'll never touch any of the onboard SATA stuff.
