Default Use of 2.5 SATA Drives For Servers

So in that case maybe a 2.5 SAS solution would better meet the combined
requirements of small size and high performance.


Your application does not strike me as high-performance. But if
it is, then yes, 2.5" SAS would be the way to go, I think.

Hmm. If it is not a high-performance application, ordinary
notebook drives may actually do fine. They are at the performance
level that 3.5" SATA drives were 2-3 years ago. Running them 24/7
is also not really that much of an issue.

Is there 2.5 SATA drive whose use is recommended for a server? I

have
an
industrial rackmount computer with SCSI drives currently that leaves

no
room
for the cable connections behind the drives. It's HOURS of work to
remove
and replace a drive. I want something that gives us a lot more room

to
work behind the drives.

What kind of chump server is THAT?
