Goggle a RAID PCI SCSI card

Spec me a RAID PCI SCSI card

Basically after getting my current Adapter AHA-2940 for £10, I'm looking for a SCSI alternative for around twice the price.

All I want it for is to RAID 2x IBM DNES-309170W 9.1gb drives into a RAID 0 (preferably)/1 array.

After seeing the drives maxed out at nearly 20mb/sec, is there any way to up this transfer rate? Not important, but it would be nice.

I know my budget may seem unrealistic at £20-30 - but after my last purchase, I'm determined I can find just a good a bargain!

Please do not link to competitors, just name the make and model. I am capable of using price comparison sites.

Thanks, all!

Just noticed my late night bodge-up of a thread title.

I have the AHA-2940UW - and you're right, it is capable of 40mb/s per device. So I've reached the drive's maximum physical speed.

I got this card second-hand - TBH, I think I got lucky when I found it. But brand-new or not, it doesn't bother me - as long as it works.

To tell the truth, the current SCSI setup is purely an experiment. The main reason I don't want to waste more than £20 on any one device.

So PCI-X card will work in 32-bit PCI slots, but just run slower?
