I have two SCSI Ultra160 drives but have yet to decide upon an adapter. The box is a dual XEON and those disks will be the only drives. The box is destined to be a high end workstation in the short term (it might wind up being a server). Given that I have only two drives, I've been told that the 39160 would be overkill Similarly, I've been told that that if the U3 card wasn't much more than the U2, then go for the U3. Otherwise, it's not worth it given that I'm using only two of those drives. The point being that you need large numbers of those disks to take advantage of U3. Given I'm going to start with FreeBSD 4.1.1 on the box, what would you recommend in terms of what card to use? thanks. drive details: http://www.seagate.com/cda/products/discsales/marketing/detail/0,1121 ,201,00.html -- Dan Langille The FreeBSD Diary - http://www.freebsddiary.org/ FreshPorts - http://freshports.org/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-scsi" in the body of the message
