    Which SAS controller do I need?

    I checked LSI, they appear to have Vista 64 drive support only. I am running Vista 32. Any idea if Vista 64 drivers run under Vista 32?

    Which SAS controller do I need?

    I decided to step up from U320 to SAS after I was able to win a pretty decent Seagate Cheattah SAS drive at Ebay. Since I believe Adaptec is the only manufacturer so far to offer Vista drivers, I guess it will be one of their controllers. Which card would you suggest for a modest one drive SAS...

    Dual or single channel SCSI RAID?

    I am trying to build a SCSI Raid 0 system but I admit I am confused with the dual vs. single channel issue. To get maximum speed for Raid 0 would I need to go dual channel and does this mean 4 hard drives instead of 2 for a Raid 0 array? Please help me here to understand. BTW, I wanted to go...

    Fastest SCSI System built by German magazine?

    The article does not mention what this computer is being used for. They claim they wanted to build "one heck of a super computer". BTW I forgot two more specs: Memory: 4 x 1 MB Corsair PC-667 FB-DIMM PSU: Enermax Galaxy 1000 Watts

    Fastest SCSI System built by German magazine?

    The German computer magazine PC-Welt recently built what they called the "computer out of hell", a $25.000 monster. Of interest is of course the disk array. They used 4 Seagate 15k.4 147GB SAS hard drives in a Raid 10 together with a PCI-X Adaptec 4800SAS/128 for the operating system and...
