hi, i'm getting a dual cheetah ST373454LW, and want to set them on raid 0, i'm now looking for a SCSI raid controller card, which one shall i go with for best performance?
i see the raid card's price vary boardly, so i'm wondering what makes the price so different? I don't mind spending 6,7 hundres for the card if they really worth that price.
thx,
wusy, thanks for your reply. i have a few more question:
1. for 15k scsi hd, which will be better? Cheetah or Matrox?why?
2. my mb is gonna be tyan k8we, which has 3 pci-X slot and 2 PCI-E x16 slot, but i think i'll go with the PCI-X raid-controller card since i'm putting 2 6800 ultra in the pci-e.
3.for purchasing PCI-X raid controller card what should i be keep in mind?
what does "channel" do in SCSI raid controller card?
i'm buying 2 cheetah 73 GB scsi 15k to set up raid 0,
which one shall i go with? i'm looking at adaptec's card
If size is a problem go for the <A HREF="http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16811112055" target="_new">Lian-Li PC-V1200(b)</A>. It is an extended mid tower case that will hold eatx boards.
thank you so much for your help and recommandation, i'm now thinking of going with Thermaltake's Kandalf VA9000, would it fit? also i need a PSU which can support my MB(K8WE), dual pci-e 6800 ultra(havn't decided 256 or 512) and my dual cheetah scsi hdd, thank you for your time again..
Have you looked at the the ThermalTake Shark? I love mine. Also, I wouldnt recommend their lower wattage PSU's, but Thermaltakes 680W is a very high quality PSU.

You sure the K8WE will fit in the V1000? That motherboard looks like it is eATX and a V1000 isn't going to hold an eATX board.
I think the V1200 is probably the best bet, it is definatly far superior to the thermaltake cases.
