And CAM isn't exactly 100% stable (but is pretty darn good). I'd recommend getting your hands on a true 2940UW for at least a little while. > #2 AMI Mega 3 Channel Raid Controller, Ultra Wide, 32 megs cache on > the card. Don't belive this is supported at all, unless it connects directly to the Adaptec.
