3Ware cards are so cheap
I wouldn't call them "cheap". At least here in Germany the "cheapest"
3Ware ATA I can find is an Escalade 7006 at EUR 114,--. That price is ok,
but not "cheap" in my eyes. The cheapest SATA I can find is well over EUR
300,--. So the controller alone costs more than the 4 disks I can attach
to it.
How much do you pay in the US for 3Ware?
I guess cheap is in the eye of the beholder. :-) A 7006 here costs
about US$110. When I say cheap, I guess I am comparing it to the "old
days" when you had to buy SCSI RAID controllers to get a real hardware
RAID device and then got the double penalty of then paying several times
the amount for storage compared to IDE disks.
Cheers,
