Incomplete question. Best one to use for what? Performance, Stability, Reliability, Raid? Things to keep in mind, What bus are the controllers sitting on? Regardless of them being onboard, they still have to sit on either PCI, PCI, or some other similar bus. When on those busses, which ones share resources with other devices. You may find that one or the other share hardware interrupts or bus with other high usage devices. Keeping them split apart will reduce bus contention, or the need to service multiple devices on a hardware interrupt when one or the other fires the interrupt. -- Steven Critchfield [EMAIL PROTECTED] --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "NLUG" group.
