Ah, hardware bigotry.  Your colors are showing.


come on, it is what it is and performance in first place comes from the
hardware, it doesn't matter how hard you blow the elephant's ass without
wings the beast do not fly

SATA (of any gen) still does not perform like SCSI.  Let's just look
at spindle speed alone ignoring the other benefits of SCSI.

I had no time to test it on a life webserver and probably can't do
it so soon but I tell you that a 10K Raptor is faster then a 15K
320Mb SCSI when compiling world or untarring large files. Also NCQ
is not reserved to SCSI anymore so when you see the price then it is
becoming a valid option for small servers.

And your testing methodogy was...what?

counting Universal Time Units from beginning of the process until the end of
the process
