Advantages: A bargain. Easy to install and used. Good entry level SCSI controller. Disadvantages: No support for higher data rates.
...to life (no smoke, no flames, no blue screen) and found the card and its attached writer instantly.
The bad news is that while SCSI is cable of up to 160 mb per second this card will only do 10 mb per second. If that does not mean much, to you then try to think of it in terms of floppy disk per second, the AVA 2704 can move the equivalent of just over seven full floppy disks of data in a second where as its big brothers can move the equivalent of just over 114 floppy disks worth in a second! However, this was not really an issue for me as I only trying en to attach one old SCSI cd writer. Still it would have been nice to have the option! My only other gripe would be the lack of software bundled with it. Adaptec are supposed to have some excellent software for working with SCSI, in this case it was notable by its absence. Although since a lot...

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....

Advantages: Powerful - impressive - cutting edge Disadvantages: Like a big filing cabinet on wheels
...Only recently had the opurtunity to build one of these and if anyone else would like me to put theirs together please drop me a line.
When you first get it out of the box, sorry when you dismantle the wooden palette it comes on from around it and remove the packaging it's kind of disappointing. You've paid all that money and all you've got is big black metal box on wheels. It's kind of like a one drawer filing cabinet. Then you open it up and the inside is one of the best layed out I think I've seen.
I'll start at the front where your hard disk bays are. All the hot swap bays will take either Serial ATA drives or SerialAttachedSCSI (SAS) drives. This means you can set up one array with expensive, high performance SAS drives for your important mission critical stuff and the setup another cheap SATA array for the less accessed stuff...
