from seann's later response, fake if all 8 drives are raid. not fake if ide1,2 = non raid and ide3,4 = raid.
therefore, it is a draw. :o)
Seann has omitted coverage of things such as hot spares, hot swap
i was not aware that you could hot swap ide. i have only done hot swap when using scsi.
Please don't think that you can get that type of performance built onto a motherboard for $140
i do not. but i have seen some mainboards with on board scsi controllers that where under $200, at 'bargain shows' where boards are discontinued.
thanks for you input. - --
