BigBen:
Its been a while since I have last posted/read this thread BUT I will still throw in my last 2 cents.
I personally have had very good success with Quantum Atlas drives (now Maxtor Atlas SCSI line). As you can see in my sig. I am currently running 5 of their drives in my system; (1) Atlas V and (4) Atlas IV. I have yet to find any complains/problems with them yet and one of the drives has been running in my system for over 4 years now
For the rest of you in SCSI land, can anyone recommend a good Adaptec RAID 0 or RAID 5 SCSI adapter that is not affected by FSB OCing? I have an AAA-131U2 w/ 64mb cache sitting here on my desk because I found that using that controller in my system was SLOWER (in max throughput tests) than my AHA-2940U2W w/ software RAID 0. Did some more tests and found that with my FSB @ 150, the card ran slower than @ 133FSB. But even @ 133FSB the Array Adapter (AAA-131U2) was still not as fast as my Host Adapter (AHA-2940U2W) using software RAID 0.
I guess I will keep the Array Controller around for when I move all these 9.1Gb drives into a storage server BUT I am still looking for a good Array Adapter that will work better than my Host Adapter. Suggestions?
Thanks in advance.
