But since this stands a better chance than the other, I will just give it a try and report. Now, how can I proceed with this, given that I'd have nothing on the disks and the issue with drivers. Obviously, I'd have to install the OS before the drivers. But would the card work at the initial install without the drivers. If so, would I need to install the drivers once the OS has been installed? >> > >> > Am I getting it clear that there's no clear advantage to putting the >> > OS >> > on the SCSI disks? >> > If the disks are faster, then it will be advantageous to put your OS > on it.

I suppose I could go read benchmarks, but thought someone here would save me the time.
And while I'm on that has anyone a USB 2.0 with NEC chip D720100AGM. I'd like to drop that in the Sawtooth as well.
