We use 4 Drive - Raid 5 18 0r 36gig SCSI HDD's in our servers and of course when it is time to add another server the cost is... well too high once you add the regi ram and all the other goodies..

I have been watching a little on the serial ata's but have not found where anyone is using them in production servers..

Anyone here actually tried it? What do you think? what configuration are you using? Hot Swapable? speed?

Any input would be great.. Trying to decide what to do on the next server going on line.. I will not bother with IDE but I sure like the price better than scsi.

Thank you for your time.
