    do you know if there is any advantage to getting a SATA HD? I have 2 seagate 250 gb hds at the moment i was planning on putting in. If I reserved the SATA for OS and the like would it speed things up?

    DFI boards are excellent and you'd be a fool not to go for the Opterons :)

    I don't think you'd gain much by getting a SATA just for the OS. Although if you have 2 IDE drives and an optical drive that would mean that some drives would have to be sharing channels...

    To me that's the only advantage of SATA, not having to have drives share channels and cables. The throughput gains aren't really much use with current HD technology.

    If you run the two drives in IDE raid they should be nice and fast :)

    If you need more space, buy 2 SATA drives and run them raid :)
