To the original poster, if I may offer one other suggestion, you REALLY need to offload the drive performance onto a good controller. You already have some IDE/SATA drives. If you want to keep your hardware investment to a minimum, consider a real (not FAKE RAID, such as highpoint) IDE RAID controller. 1. Any IDE RAID controller by 3Ware will do, allows you to use existing drive hardware. 2. Same RAID controller in #1 plus more IDE drives. More spindles equals more performance. 3. A better SATA RAID controller by 3Ware with SATA drives, costs quite a bit more though. 4. *BEST*: SCSI or SAS RAID controller with SCSI or SAS drives. Bottom line: your performance will increase relative to the amount of money you spend and the quality of hardware you buy. -- Regards...
