The Addonics card is only $8 more than the Syba card at Newegg, $35 vs $27 USD. Isn't all PC hardware overpriced in AU, just like in the UK? I've seen numerous mobos and what not priced at over 300 pounds, making them equivalent to over $1000 USD. These were run of the mill upper midrange Asus etc type boards that sell for less than $200 USD. > At this stage, I think my best bet for a new card is to get a mate in > the US to get one and ship it over.

Sorry I couldn't get you better options, cost wise. I recommended the lowest price highest quality/compat cards available, in the US that is. -- Stan -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-raid" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
