Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: Suggestions on SCSI
Kevin,
You did not state the OS you will be using. If it is a flavor of LINUX them 3ware
makes a ISA card that will handle disk drives like they were SCSI drives. You save the
high cost of disks and spend it on the card. But I bought 2- 40 GIG WD drives last
week for $109.00 each and put them in my Dell OptiPlex desk top as a test but running
Linux. Total disk space 90 GIG in the box. Partitioned the drives at 8 GIG partitions.

>>> kevin_at_dulcian.com 05/31/01 04:01PM >>> I was thinking the 18's where a better idea now that everyone agrees. However, I can't go with more than 4 drives unfortunately, this is on a Dell Precision 410. I could try and add an additional scsi adapter, but I am not sure that I would have a place for the drive, unless I went external.
Also, this is purely a development box, it's not like I need ultimate
performance, it's just a bunch of developers that will be complaining and I
can just blaim their code. I will not be implementing any sort of raid
either. Thanks again for the advice!!

18Gb with the cache all the way, I would recommend Seagate for this. The cost difference is small between the 9Gb and 18Gb plus 18Gb will be replaceable for longer time than 9Gb.
I would recommend more than 4 disks though. Specially if your implementing
raid of some sort.
If at all possible.

Hi all,
Just thought I would throw this one out there and see what all of
you hot
shots think. I am going to rebuild a server into a DB Server. Currently it
has IDE drives in there and obviously I am not going to be using those. So
I need to invest in some new SCSI drives. Here's what I had in mind:
Either 4 X 9.2 Gig 10K RPM with 2mb Cache OR 4 X 18.4 GIG 10K with 4MB cache
I was initially leaning towards the 9 gigs to save on cost, however someone pointed out that 18 would be a better idea for growth down the line. Also I want to keep them all of the same size in case one goes down then I may have room on another.
What are your thoughts on this? Does anyone know what "ultra fibre
scsi"
means? Does anyone recommend brands to stear clear of? I know that Seagate
is a pretty good name, but I can't find any in Ultra 2? Anyone know if
Hitachi is a good name?
Thanks in advance.
Sincerely,
