Does the 3ware use a proprietary driver? Its one of the favorites of the
PostgreSQL community. Also the WD Raptor line of hard drives are another
fav. They are very durable and are designed to compete with SCSI drives in
reliability and performance. Much more advanced firmware than typical
desktop drives. Much more expensive ($$/G) than desktop drives too, but I
haven't met anyone yet who regretted spending the extra money.
