My original posting:
I am trying to decide between Barracuda 2GB and 4GB disks for our
Sparc 10 Solaris 2.4 NFS servers. I would prefer 4GB but have never
used one. Are those of you using the 4GB happy with them?
Among those who responded, one was reasonably happy, four happy, five
very happy, one more than happy, one extremely happy, and one unable
to function without them.
In addition, Dave Hightower warned about the significance of the cable
length and type of SCSI terminator for fast SCSI 2. Gary Blumenstein
was concerned with the heat a 7200rpm drive would generate. Eileen
Tronolone reported her findings from Seagate that the RPM parameter
may have to be lowered from 7200 to 6000 when formatting on a Sun.
Casper Dik suggested "using the Fast/Wide/Differential variant, as one
barracuda already gets a 5-6MB/s thruput."
