Cheap RAID card is perfect! (but slow)
Review of Intel RAID Controller SRCS14L by
waga
Advantages: online capacity expansion, deals with hard disc problems better
Disadvantages: slow compared to software RAID
...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 ... ...linux!)
Current drivers are 2.05 which are included since the 2.4.19 kernel. As with all RAID controllers, the manual was bad... very bad! But to compared to others, it's what I expected.

Review-TSUNAMI 3.5" ide+sata Ext Hdd Enclosure
Review of Tsunami Speed 3500 by
tomtaylor
Advantages: Stylish Nokia style outlook design and aluminium finish, comes with foot stand, easy to install
Disadvantages: The outlook of Nokia style stripe design might not be everyone's favourite
=Intro =
Tsunami has been traditionally producing cases, speakers and desktop manager (mice+keyboard+speakers). In the recent years, TSUNAMI seems to have moved away from the budget/lower range products and concentrating more on offering unique, innovative, artistic and quality products. They are even Intel exclusive partner for specialist chassis design. Today I have one of their 3.5" hard drive enclosure with me for testing - speed 3500. The version ... ...fit my unwanted hard drive from the old case'. Would recommend others to check out other TSUNAMI hard drive enclosures. Basically, I think the quality is there (for tsunami enclosures), just a case of choosing the right color, outlook design, accessories, features that best suit your life style (and budget). ...
