No way best prices. Adaptec is always the price leader, meaning highest
price. If you want lowest possible price and broadest driver support,
*and* you don't plan to use SCSI for your HD, you can't beat
NCR/Symbios/LSI Logic chipped HBA's. SYM8751SP cards are usually
available on eBay in the $25-$40 range, currently bidding at $31. New
LSI cards with features comparable to the various Adaptec models
generally cost 1/3 to 50% less.
