If price was not an issue would you go with SCSI or S-ATA?



That's a very kind offer and much appreciated man If I decide on the S-ATA HD then I will certainly hit you up on ICQ
Hmm. Admittedly my experience with both is limited (the joys of being a cheapskate), but i am aware S-ATA can be hotplugged and from memory, i think they run at 150 Mbps (correct me if i am wrong); i think SCSI goes faster, but you do pay a lot more for it - not to mention you're going to need a SCSI controller card, which could potentially slow the whole thing down (PCI buses have a limited bandwidth).
