Hello Alexandr,

SCSI RAID is -much- faster for servers with heavy disk writing
requirements.  e.g. database submissions.  ATA RAID uses much
cheaper disks and is usually plenty fast for read-intensive serving.
e.g. a typical web server.  So it depends on what you expect your
server to do.

Sincerely,
  Dave
