SCSI drive comparison to SATA

[beta]

Hi people,
Please inform me how does a SCSI drive compare to SATA or SATA II ? I shall be running a virtual hosting server with cpanel and a few heavy traffic wordpress/phpBB sites of my own. Are SCSI drives going to give performance advantage worth the price?

Disk I/O on SCSI drives is going to perform slightly better than SATA-II with NCQ, and more so on a highly taxed system. i.e. you will barely notice a difference until the drives or CPU become really busy. Without NCQ, the difference will be larger.

Some SATA drives available with 16 megs cache, but not so typical on SCSI drives of that size. Also, most SCSI drives spin at 10K RPMs, or even 15K RPMs, whereas the SATA drive in question spins at 7.2K RPM, so that's a fairly noticeable factor there. -- This message may have been cut off and the rest will only be shown to members.
