Why do you keep advocating things you do not understand properly ? The
price of the SCSI junk will buy you a second PC with the same
configuration as the 1st one and leave some money for ice cream & lunch.
Also, using SCSI on a server connected over ISDN (I suppose) is a pure
destilled waste of hardware and money. Moreover, the IDE solution will be
faster than SCSI on HX or VX chipsets due to the direct PCI mapping of the
driver interface. And I think that 4 * 14 GB is way enough for a Linux
mirror.
Why not pick up a book about server setup and dimensioning (possibly not
one from a hardware vendor <g>) and do some reading before you start ?
