What controller for this HD

What controller would be able to run two of these drives in RAID0. I have heard that Adaptec are good.

Adaptec are prety decent but a second hand Dell Perc/5i card is probably a better value option but you need to be careful with the Perc cards, they don't work in all motherboards.

Ah thanks

could u send a linky to a good Adaptec card that would be suitable for two of those Seagate cards in RAID0 or a good perc card

also just an entry level one would be sufficient as i know they can be very exspensive

cheers Dom

I have been reading up on SCSI and i notice that the drives i have questioned are Ultra320 SCSI. Is Ultra320 SCSI faster then SAS?
Thanks Dom

Edit: Looked around on websites and found out the info
A SAScsi controler (Adaptec RAID 3405) and 2x HD (Cheetah® 15K.5 SAS 3Gb/s 73-GB) will lighten your wallet about 450 quid
