Looking at my options, seeing as we don't have any SCSI drives to throw
in there, and I don't see it being worth the expense of buying both
drives *and* a controller when the server is so old anyway, I'm looking
at the 3Ware 7506 series as a stop-gap until we can afford a server
over-haul.  However, I noticed that the 7006-2 that you suggest only has
one cable, so wouldn't having two drives on it with one cable reduce
performance versus a 7506-4 with two cables due to IDE being what it is?
FYI I'd plan on doing RAID-1 on the two drives.
