No need for SCSI drives. ATA133, SATA work just fine. You may want to make a RAID array for even better performance and redundancy. In any case, from time to time, you should perform disk clean-up, defragmentation, and disk check after a power failure. |

Two LAN cards may be required if you plan to allow access from the Internet using separate port or to load-ballance this server. |
