I haven't seen anybody equate the two yet, so get the name right if you quote this ;) Disk drives are like light bulbs. You can buy the server class (similar to CFLs), or desktop (incandescent). If you don't mind the dark, replace them as they fail, and buy spares as they go on sale. Conversely, if you have to maintain a vaulted ceiling chandelier, and are afraid of heights, then spending twice as much for never having to deal with *THAT* again will seem like a bargain. - David Lethe
So are there such things as server class EIDE drives? Or are they all SCSI or SATA?
