I'm looking at buying some new servers that will be running Lucene, and wonder if I should go with SCSI RAID, or if perhaps spending the extra money on processors (and going with SATA for drives) is better. I'm not sure where the bottleneck is in an average system, and I don't have any SCSI RAID systems available for testing.
