Hello, We had over 100 ATA adapters in production 3 years ago. Now we have less than 20. They use more power overall than Channelbanks, they are not designed to be used 12-16 hours a day every day. You must configure and test every one. They do not last as long as channelbanks. Using Channelbanks has saved us time and cost in fixing/replacing equipment, We have not had to replace a single one of the ten channelbanks we've had in place for the last 18 months. In the first year of ATA usage, we had to replace 20% of our ATAs(overheating, random dying, coffee, soda, other abuse). As for initial purchase cost, ATA adapters are actually slightly cheaper per port than channelbanks(if buying new).
