I've had exceedingly good results with the TekRam cards. (In fact, I'm ordering two more from mcglen.com in the next day or so) Their cousins also bailed me out when Adaptec drivers were not able to handle NNTP traffic on a pair of CCDs. We were using a pair of 9GB drives on one CCD and a few 4GB drives on another. The CCDs were split across the cards. Added async IO when the system proved itself stable, and I was just amazed at the throughput. FreeBSD's Adaptec drivers are much better now, but I've never gone back... - Jy@ On Sun, 12 Dec 1999, Gary D. Margiotta wrote: > Am about to purchase 2 u2w controllers for a box...
