I would say neither, but as you are constrained to them do chose the ATA version because for the trash they are for a server at least you're paying less. Let me warn you that these disks were giving lots of problems, in 24 systems we had 7 faulty disks these summer. I would prefer the new version, the Fireball EX ATA version which are excellent disks for the price. If you want SCSI do go for the Viking if your stuck with Quantum or IBM / Seagate if you're free :-) -- Jose Marcelino To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hardware" in the body of the message
