RE: Sata vs SCSI raid array

Hi,

I just wanted to add that CCS is testing out JetStor storage arrays and we'd be happy

to follow up with results of our tests. Here's some info.

Thanks, Jann

JetStor direct attached RAID devices made by AC&NC

(http://www.jetstor.com/) are used by a number of higher-ed institutions where a price/performance ratio is important. The University of California, Santa Barbara is using JetStors for their mail relay, FTP, and NNTP servers. Carnegie Mellon, Columbia, and the University of Michigan are using it for their mail servers. Lawrence Berkeley National Lab is using them in scientific computing applications.

They make a number of products with choices of drive technology (SCSI, ATA, or Serial ATA), interface (2 or 4 Gbit Fibre Channel, or U320 SCSI), and drive performance and capacity. They support RAID 6, which is similar to RAID 5, but it can handle 2 simultaneous drive failures. In particular, the JetStor SATA 416S can be configured with Western Digital 10,000 RPM Raptor disks to achieve the economics of SATA with the engineered duty cycle of enterprise-class SCSI disks.
