At the C.D. department here at Dartmouth, we have 18 sun 3/50 clients running off of a sun 3/280 server. I would like to get another disk, a large one, like a gigabyte or so. We have smd disks now, but there seem to be scsi disks available for less money. Would they be as fast for nfs serving (including nfs swapping under Sun OS 4.0) I will be installing a xylogics 753 which should let multiple disks seek at the same time - does this happen with any scsi controllers? Seek time seems to be a bottle- neck right now. If there is interest, I will summarize my findings. Wayne Cripps Sys Adm, Math and CS Dept, Dartmouth College wbc@maxlin.dartmouth.edu, (603) 646-3198
