WyomingKnott Legenda in Aeternum Aug 29, 2006 13,249 3 51,960 May 4, 2011 #2 In Tom's article "The 3 GB/Sec project," see this page for the controllers that they used: http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/raid-array-ssd,2915-3.html . That article has benchmarks for 8 SSDs on that controller. I don't know what the British equivalent of NewEgg is, but here it is for $525 American (but your shipping might be high). http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16816118105&cm_re=LSI_MegaRAID_9260-8i-_-16-118-105-_-Product Upvote 0 Downvote

There are probably internal and external versions; will your drives be inside the case or in a separate enclosure? I think that this is the internal version, but don't sue me if you end up with the wrong thing. Upvote 0 Downvote
