Best U160/U320 for Linux
Hi,
I need to set up a workstation as fast as possible from a disk point of view...
I plan to use a Seagate Cheeatah 15K.3 hard drive that seems to be the fastest U160/U320 15000 hard drive available.
But I don't know which adapter I have to buy.
Which one is the best supported by the kernel currently ? aic7xxx ? Tekram ?
Thanks for your answer and sorry in advance if my question has nothing to do in this mailing-list.
Regards

I'm using an Adaptec 19160 with a 10K.6 Cheetah. No problems with 2.4.20 and a bunch of 2.5 and 2.6-test releases using the aic7xxx driver.
(The sensation of moving from SCSI to IDE was in some ways like wading out of a marsh and onto the road.)
Thanks.
All the default values are ok ? No need to tweak anything ? How fast is it ? The same system compared to an IDE one of course.

... only to be suddenly hit by a bus. For high IO loads, there's no beatin' SCSI. (3Ware hardware aside.)

Hurg! I meant from IDE to SCSI, of course.
