Gotcha...
I'm clear on the AN-29160. I'll pick the one I can find cheaper, but I'll keep in mind that you recommended the 29160N.
I agree with the HDDs: Fujitsu sucks!!! Since I've always liked Seagate, I'll try to lean towards those. MAxtor probably isn't too bad either, but seeing some results on their 740DX line (ATA), where they turn out to be the most CPU intensive, I'd rather stick with Seagate.
While on the topic of CPU utilization... isn't it true that a SCSI controller will take a load off of the CPU, compared to ATA?
Also, nuclear pointed out that Seagate may offer their SATA drives with a 3 year warranty. Even if that's true, I wouldn't be able to run then in raid 0/1. I don't believe that most mobo manufacturers offer BOTH raid 0 and RAID 1 at the same time. Am I wrong?
Thanks for the cable tip!
