Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-scsi@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Hi! Our main internal server, FreeBSD 3.2b with five large SCSI disks, running vinum and softupdates etc... It fast, and we're happy. It runs both filesharing (mainly NFS) and applications. Now some guys here are interested in having a large archive with not-so-important data (read mp3 files...) and suggest a large IDE disk for almost no money at all. My question: will an IDE disk in a now SCSI-only system impact performance for the rest of the system? Thanks!
