I'm currently setting up a dedicated news machine running 2.1.5-R, and have a quick question to some of the other people here: For every 4GB of data storage on the box, would you recommend 1 4GB 7200 RPM drive (Barracuda) or 2 2GB 5400 RPM drives (Hawk)? I realize that I should spread the data between as many disks as possible, and also make sure that those disks are as fast as possible, and would like to hear opinions as to which factor is more important. This machine will have 1 (maybe 2) full-ish incoming feeds, and feed several shell accounts on one machine along with dialup users. If it makes a difference. I'm also on a bit of a budget setting it up, which is why I've identified my $/GB limit and am now looking at the choices within that constraint. Power, cooling, etc are not going to be issues. TIA! -Richard
