[Sunhelp] About device check(probe-scsi)

[Jarrett Carver]

Not possible and not a good idea are two different things. Segate may say 
and IDE based server is wrong, but does that stop Sun from building it? As 
far as everything I have seen U5S and U10S systems are EIDE based.

Sun considers these workgroup servers. Not much different than many PC 
server set-ups that are used to support small workgroups.

This is not possible!
Seagate Customer Support claims that an IDE-based server is a wrong idea. 
Even the Seagate Medalist Pro SCSI (SCA) drives are intended for entry level 
servers (according to them, less than 10 users).

I don't believe this is entirely true.  The Ultra 10 internals are PCI and 
IDE on both the server and the workstation
version (SCSI can of course be added with a card and an external disk pack).
