Subject: How to choose a disc array for Postgresql?

Message-ID: <721b21dc0803012337u55ddaa13l5517816659f8e100@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
I am moving our small business application
database application supporting
a 24/7 animal hospital to use 8.0.15 from
7.4.19 (it will not support 8.1, 8.2. or 8.3).
Now, we can choose a new a disc array. SATA
seems cheaper and you can get more discs but
I want to stay with SCSI. Any good reasons to
choose SATA over SCSI?
I need to consider a vendor for the new disc array (6-
to 8 discs). The local vendor (in the San Francisco Bay Area),
I've not been completely pleased with, so I am considering using
Dell storage connecting to an retail version LSI MegaRAID 320-2X card.
Anyone use any vendors that have been supportive of Postgresql?
Thanks for your help/feedback.
Steve
