Thanks all for the information. I notice on -questions that there is some current interest in this, and I was wondering if there is any particular recommendation on DPT model numbers? Are we talking about a PM3334UW-BB? I've briefly priced the single channel PCI Smartraid and it seems to go for around $1100. Is there anything cheaper? Is DPT that much better than an Adaptec 131? Would anyone be interested in writing a driver for the 131?
