Martin,
Paul's right. A nice little Challenge S (Indy-based) server would be
better. Striping gives you the same amount of data, just splits up the writes.
For instance, with 8 drives, an 8-bit chunk of data could have 1-bit written to
each of the drives. Since SCSI can multitask requests (request the write or
read, then leave the SCSI controller to handle the request while the cpu moves
on) you get faster effective access.
