Whoever told you that you need Adaptect is full of bull.
Tekram makes a good, cheap UW controller based on LSI chipset that works
great...fraction of cost of the $200 Adaptec UW kit.

ps- I'm not knocking Adaptec, but for the UW series controllers, there is no obvious
performance difference.

Subject: scsi card for dat drive on linux
In my previous post I mentioned that we're looking to get an HP
Surestore. The suppliers said that nothing less a rather expensive
Adaptec card would do. If we need to buy an expensive Ultra-Wide card,
we will. I would have thought that it was overkill for the speed that
such a drive can manage? Am I missing something? Are the lower priced
cards of such inferior quality that it would be a mistake to buy them?
BTW - no SCSI hard drives in use at the moment - cannot afford them.
thanks,
Tom
