[nycbug-talk] New Server - IDE or SATA RAID?, 6.x or 7.x? (fwd)

[deep_blue at sebek.org]

I have used the 3ware 9500 sata in raid 10 with FreeBSD 5-6.3 and the LSI Megaraid in raid 10 in OpenBSD.  Never had any problems or performance issues with either.

and FreeBSD in the past - primarily with some errors in dmesg that only seemed 
resolved when I swapped in a SATA raid controller (even though these were 
individual drives and not raid!).

Of course, this setup would be RAID 1 - but I'm wondering what the best way to 
go would be - SATA or IDE.

What are all of your experiences?

Also, as far as OS choice, are people moving to 7.x now for production boxes, 
or still sticking with the 6.x branch?

Thanks!
