I've used the 53c875 controller built into Intel motherboards--I can't
really tell any difference between it and the Adaptec controllers.

The Symbios Logic NCR-875 is quite impressive. I have an Antec external
enclosure housing five HP C2490A drives (LVD SCSI-3) on an array ribbon,
The C2490A is quite an old drive and definitely isn't SCSI-

Not likely... Adaptec is perhaps the most common SCSI controller on the
market, but it certainly isn't the best.

i have 875's 825's, 810's, and 896's and several aic788x boards. the adaptecs
are onboard and true adaptec brand cards. the NCR's are Symbios, Compaq, ASUS,
and Tekram boards. i will replace those adaptecs with NRC's every time i get a
chance. the cable problems with AIC's are so bad, esp. with e
Greetings,
I'm about to move several disks out of an Asus T-10 case into an
external enclosure because they are running pretty hot. The motherboard
