Also..... the price is way to low for a good system... 4 gig 7200 rpm SCSI
drives are about $175 on the street... and Adaptec 2940W is about $200...
IMHO I would not buy it for my system!!
FYI... to really do RAID, you should use either a dual channel controller
with built in RAID or at least 2 controllers......
I use 3 channel AMI Raid controllers and love them.....
I suspect the SCSI controller that they are suppling is not a raid
controller, but simply a SCSI controller and they are using the built in NT
software raid...
