Their product line looks practically spartan now compared...

    Upgrade Recommendations?

    Hey Gang, I'm thinking of upgrading the HD's in my system and thought about getting one or two IBM Deskstars(ata/100's, low platter count if possible) and a Promise ATA/100 controller. Has anyone heard of any new stuff coming out that may be a better solution?
