	Re: Onboard SCSI Reply #3 - May 27^th, 2002 at 2:47pm is that an u2w controller? you should probably buy a u3w drive, cuz u2w drives are old now. and u3w drives will work fine with u2w controllers (backward compatible).

the adaptec u2w is one of the most popular of all scsi controllers. you should have no trouble getting something to work with it.

i like the maxtor/quantum atlas 10K III, 10Krpm. Can't go wrong with that drive.

check out hypermicro for good deals.

you can even use the 15Krpm seagate cheetah x15-36lp, which is the world's fastest drive .. for not much more cash. i own both these drives and can easily recommend either.
