I have never heard anything bad about them. Make sure the chip set is a Triton-II (Intel's 430HX PCIset) >SCSI Host adapter: I have had very good luck with Adaptec controllers. The 2940 is a very good PCI SCSI controller. I am going to put in a plug for IWILL. They sell motherboards with the SCSI built right in. I got one. It works just fine. -mark
