Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: Suggestions on SCSI
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,
