Re: OT Raid Setup for MP3 Server

["paul_watkin" <paul_watkin@xxxxxxx>]

I have found plenty of places in the US doing the Supertrak SX6000
for about $260 + tax and shipping and the Adaptec @ around $320

Is there any difference between these cards mechanically they appear
identical, is this rebadging?

So question is does anyone know anywhere in the UK where I can buy
one of these for less than =A3180?? If not I will buy it online and
collect it from mate next month when I visit.

Cheers

Paul
