Soooo....let me get this straight;

I can spend almost $2200 for a 180g Barracuda and still need more money for a decent SCSI controller

or

I can spend ~$1150 for 4 Maxtor 80g ATA100 drives and a Fasttrak100 and end up with a total of 320 gigs of storage that would likely be faster than the Barracuda.

UhHuh....

Lessee.....more calculator trix:

Promise SuperTrak100 (6 MASTER channels, i960RD based IDE RAID): ~$550 USD

Six Maxtor 80g ATA100's: ~$1554 USD

Total cost: $2104 USD

Total capacity: 480 gigs

Throughput: Likely to max out the 133 mb/s capacity of the PCI bus with lots of potential left over.
