Behind AnandTech - 2002 Server Upgrade article is up



<< With the help and cooperation of Appro, we spec'd out a configuration using their 1124i chassis (an IDE version of the 1124s used as our Forums Database Server) for all 9 of our public webserver boxes. The systems were configured as follows:

Dual Athlon MP 1900+ (1.60GHz)
Tyan Thunder K7
512MB DDR266 SDRAM
Seagate 20GB IDE HDD

You'll notice that we moved away from the IBM Deskstars used all of our previous web servers due to recent questions of reliability in regards to IBM's 75GXP, 60GXP and 120GXP lines. We have no conclusive evidence to support theories for/against the reason for the seemingly large number of failures (we've encountered noticeable amounts in our servers, labs and in personal systems of our staff), but we wanted to remain on the safe side and thus went with Seagate drives. >>
