SCSI vs SATA, Which is Faster?
"When configuring a server or high end custom computer, we are often asked about the performance benefits of SCSI over SATA. Since SCSI is much more expensive, the common perception is that it must be significantly faster. The short answer we give to that issue is that with the release of 10,000 RPM SATA drives, SCSI simply does not hold the edge it used to, and we do not feel it is worth the sizable increase in cost. Of course, that statement is very general. Surely there are still applications that greatly benefit from SCSI, and it is the goal of this article to take a deeper look at the performance differences in SCSI vs SATA, and to tell you how those differences translate to performance in real world applications."

yeah, the comparison benchmarks graph at the bottom, the athlon64 based fx hammers the penium ones all with the same raptor SATA drives. there are no SCSI drives on athlons/opterons (is there not any motherboards capable or something - i dont know much about scsi) they are all on xeons

I just don't belive it. They don't even say what controller card.

controller card alone can make a huge difference.

This is true.
The only drives I'll ever buy for anything but general storage is SCSI. U320 SCSI that is.
And the only drive company I'll ever choose is Seagate.
