If you think $120-160 is cheap, I'm wondering if your company needs more software engineers.... ;^) I have had good luck with Adaptec controllers in the past, and no experience with Promise, but w.r.t. SATA I couldn't give you any input. FTR, my m/b only does SATA-I, and spent a little time looking for a cheap PCI-SATA-II board (so I could run my SATA-II disks at full transfer speed) but the cheapest one I found was $60-70, and if I'm going to spend that much, I might as well get a new m/b that supports SATA-II (they're cheaper!). I know that's not much help - sorry. Hope someone else will have more info.... mhr _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
