Why bother with SCSI? Get yourself a RAID1 or RAID5 based on SATA

I don't believe in RAID controllers. Linux software RAID works just
fine, and if you get two independent SATA controllers, you are
saving more money for the same result.

thomas-krenn.com looks pretty decent. I am going to order one with
