Buslogic SCSI

[Bruce Perens]

Don't buy a FlashPoint for Linux. If you do buy one, BusLogic will
upgrade it to one of the MultiMaster controllers for a nominal fee. I have
the details. The FlashPoint isn't a good controller for multi-tasking
systems, and there's no Linux driver.

Thanks!

So what would you say is the best performing SCSI controller (in wide or 
ultra flavor)? Is the 2940UW the best?

Hi Ricardo --

You asked:
 What is the price compared with Adaptec 2940UW?

I got one for $189.00 a couple of months ago at a computer show.

You might check out:
PricePages:  http://www.ntek.com/cgi-shl/cgi_ivor.exe/index.data
  which lists prices from Usenet postings or
PriceWatch:  http://www.pricewatch.com
  which lists prices for user-specified items from various commerical vendors.

Good luck,
Susan Kleinmann

I have no benchmarks, but I am partial to the DPT controllers.  I've
got the Fast SCSI-II (PM2124) in my desktop machine, and the Fast-Wide
SCSI-II (PM2124W) in our Debian-based web server, and they have both
been rock solid and excellent performers.  Setup is a breeze.

And if you want you can add cache (though I'd probably just add more
main memory) and/or hardware RAID later.

Plus, Mike Neuffer works for i-Connect, which means I know where to
find him...:-)

Mike.
