Du you have used SATA drives with PATA Hardware or WD Raptor WD360GD and WD740GD which have real SCSI-Hardware. They run with 10.000 RpM. My @home PostgreSQL Server use the 3w8506S-4LP and is now around 30 times faster as the previous 3w7507-4LP which was PATA. I am using 4 Western Digital Raptor WD740GD SATA drives.0 I am using Raid-5.
