Cheap U320 SCSI Adapter?

[/dev/null]

Hello can anyone help me?

I want to setup SCSI on my PC and ran across the Maxtor Atlas 15k 18gb Ultra 320 SCSI 80pin 15000rpm hard drive which seems promising.

Does anyone know of any cheap 1 or 2 channel U320 adapters that would work with this drive?

The only one I have found so far is the AU320SCSI for around £110/$200.

Dev/Null:

Have you priced any of the LSI Logic SCSI cards? These would be it, if any.

Also, you could get by using an Ultra-160 SCSI host bus adaptor, with the same real-world performance as a more-expensive Ultra-320 model. With Ultra-320, you would, in theory, get a little bit of extra performance out of buffer read/writes.

Ditto on LSI. Very cheap and reasonable performance.

Just to state the obvious, you will need a 68->80pin LVD adaptor to run it with a controller card. Or use an SCA enclosure.
