Do not count out ATTO cards!! Ive got an ExpressPCI PSC (single channel) ultra-wide card which i got recently for only $12!!! And works great on OSX10.2.8 Although my Xbench read/write scores only marginally went faster... on the order of 9 mb/sec to 13 mb/sec. But its nice to know ive maxed the drives out as much as possible my cheetahs are ultra wide, but i think the bus is my bottleneck... not sure tho. another endorsement for MCpricebreakers. ive gotten great help from Jeff too and they have decent prices - not the lowest,but with the tech help and advice, i think its worth going with them. a trusted ebay store in my book. dont get a card which is faster than your drive can handle, otherwise you are just throwing your money away (unless you get a killer deal) EBC __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
