yeah, that's pretty much what i'd figured you'd say. i can't see spending 599 on a drive that doesn't hit all the standards 'cause they're still in flux.
and you're right about the ide/scsi mixing thing under *nix - hadn't really thought about that.
what i was thinking back to subconsciously now that i think about it, where it's a pain is on something like nt. (gotta boot from the ide, but you want your system and paging on fast scsi.... yada, yada, yada). i did that on an nt box some years ago, and it ended up being a real pain in the pecker, in the long run. of course, it's windows, so it's gonna be a pain in the pecker no matter what you do.
plus they got lvm for linux now. i keep meaning to do that at home, but i been lazy and we be goin' into party season.
