Advantages: Pro: Slinky, power-packed server for cramped datacentres. Disadvantages: Con: No 64-bit PCI slots, not enough PCI expansion slots.
...Ultra3 SCSI host adapter supports these disks and the SCSI backplane automatically configures the SCSI ID numbers and SCSI termination on individual hard-disk drives, greatly simplifying drive installation.
The fifth hard drive can be fitted in the external bay, all are hot pluggable. In our test model this bay was filled with a PV100T DDS-4 DAT backup drive. This lets IT administrators allocate more processor power and storage in a standard rack.
For IT administrators who want to scale beyond 90GB of storage with external arrays, an Ultra2 Raid controller is available with an external connector.
The PowerEdge 2450 hosts an internal PERC3/Si Ultra3 Raid controller, priced at £199 + VAT, with 64MB of cache to handle up to five hot-plug Ultra3 hard drives. It supports RAID levels 0, 1, 5, and 10. The Raid controller does not have battery...

Advantages: online capacity expansion, deals with hard disc problems better Disadvantages: slow compared to software RAID
...recommend upgrading to current firmware and 2.16 storcon utl (both are on www.intel.com. There is a linux version of the 2.16 storcon, but it was hard to find!)
With initial installation on a Gigabyte GA7 motherboard and Adaptec 2940AU SCSI controller, the problems with onboard intel BIOS / adaptec 2940AU and mobo BIOS reared it's ugly head.
I could not for the life of me with all the PCI juggling, IRQ remapping and BIOS remapping options get it to boot with a Adaptec SCSI card and Intel RAID card. I asked a friend about his setup, and he had no problems (he was running a Intel serverboard with his SRCS14L)
My problem was solved by removing SCSI from system completely and migrating to IDE bootup drives (which was such a pain on linux!)
Current drivers are 2.05 which are included since the 2.4.19 kernel.
As with all RAID controllers...

Advantages: Plug n play, reliable, efficient Disadvantages: A bit pricy
...Finally, just when I was begining to give up on ever attaching my SCSI drive to my system, along came the answer to my prayers. A neat fitted in seconds, no need to open the case solution; the Adaptec USB to SCSI connector.
This piece of electronic genius allows you to connect virtually any SCSI device directly to your PC through its USB port. It works and is brilliant. It just plugs in and away it goes. Everything is supplied and with easy to follow directions.
It is not cheap though, expect to pay about $50 ($90) for it but compared with a SCSI card & cables it probably works out the same and is definately 100% less hastle than trying to configure an already stuffed full to the brim machine.
It's got my vote....
