Wiz, I have never experimented with SCSI drives, but what I see as far as posted benchmarks, is the IDE raids perform just as well as the SCSI. Two IDE drives and an IDE controller card cost less than a single, relatively decent size, SCSI drive. If you have your average gamer trying to gain some drive performance, would your SCSI experience still have you recommend it as the solution? You also make a good point on the channels, you take a real performance hit if you combine drives on the same cable. Always use seperate channels. ITISU, I also agree that you should look for the performance bottleneck. Most people would be better served in buying additional RAM as opposed to a RAID solution. Then there are the crazy people like me who just want to climb the RAID mountain because it's there.
