I know the original poster said that SATA was not an option, but there
was a very interesting thread started by Joe Guenther on 18 Feb 2004
discussing SCSI vs. SATA in an LTSP environment.

Chris Kacoroski posted some benchmarks on 2 Mar. SATA looks very promising,
but requires support for some of the more advanced features both on
the controller and the hard disk itself.

RAM always helps.
