Cool, thanks for the positive feedback. > I use an LSI 2911 which uses the well supported 2008 chip. Hmm, I don't see any of those for sale, and google's not being much help. Is that an older card? Maybe it's been discontinued and replaced with a new model. > I'm happy with WD (non-RAID) blacks for a home system. As long as your > case has good cooling on the drives, they'll be fine.

Looks like the 311 is EOL, replaced by the 313. SLC flash for durability, nice, but I couldn't find anything that says whether or not the 313 has a supercapacitor to flush the write cache on unexpected power failure.
