MegaRAID 320-1LP, I tested the none low-profile version, it is pretty
good, even better than my older Mylex AccelerRAID 170 I will use
these in our new servers. I already have one 2U with low-profile slots
on order. Though, this server will support Adaptec zero-channel cards,
which I will be giving a try. Any reason why you wish to avoid them?
