Also does anyone see what the differences are between the SUI and the SXI models? Looking at both datasheets, I see no difference other than the SUI being rated for 24MB/s transfers and the SXI at 30MB/s. Do they have the same number of channels? This looks like a nicer solution than CMD's product, and seems to be in the same ballpark. It also supports growing partitions, which is something that CMD also does not do. With the CMD I'm currently seeing some problems (OS-independent my A**), is the Mylex "smooth sailing" under FBSD? Can you grab status info easily from it's serial port? The menu system on the CMD makes it difficult to parse... Any input is appreciated.
