Hi, I would like to know if my supposition is right. Considering an environment with only one hard disk attached to a server, an initial loading of the database probably is much faster using an IDE/ATA interface with write-back on than using an SCSI interface. That´s because of the SCSI command interface overhead. Then main advantage of SCSI interfaces, the multiuser environment is lost in this scenery. Am I right? Am I missing something here? Even if I´m right, is something that could be done too improove SCSI loading performance in this scenery? Thanks in advance! Reimer
