New ASUS NCR 810, $60 (wholesale).
New generic NCR 810, $40 (a customer of mine found them in some
discount catalog, they seem to work
just fine too).
Note: 3 x ASUS NCR 810 = 1 x AHA 2940. 1 x NCR 810 is very similar in
performance to 1 x AHA 2940. ;-) Regrettably your MB needs to have the
SYMBIOS support, but all good motherboards seem to ;-)
I am not arguing {for,against} {SCSI,IDE}. I'm just encouraging
responsibility and reality in numbers. I use both SCSI and IDE disks -
generally I select SCSI when I need more than a single disk. Both have
their places.
