I'm preparing to buy a 386 based unix system (probably SCO XENIX) and
I'm befuddled by all the disk/controller options.
Can anyone tell me how SCSI, ESDI, IDE or other types of drives compare?
The system will be running some pretty disk intensive stuff (randomly
accessed) so I want to be sure I don't step wrong here and get stuck
with a too slow disk.
Are the differences significant or do they dissapear with a little caching?
