I can't answer the question about RAID and vinum, but using SCSI drives gets you performance and reasonable reliability. Come to think of it, one of the other advantages of SCSI over IDE is better performance on multiple drives - thought IDE with tagged queuing may change the balance - so if you want good performance out of vinum, you want to use SCSI anyway. http://www.mired.org/home/mwm/ Independent WWW/Perforce/FreeBSD/Unix consultant, email for more information.
