Cheap scsi raid solution - with fibre channel HDS

[Trike]

for those of you that haven't seen

but the question is how do you build the t-cards. i don't want to buy anything yet until i can make these cards or the drive will be useless to me.

I'm sure there has to be an anandtecher that knows how to build one.

I'm sure this will be beneficial to everybody.

I've tried to e-mail him asking him to point me the right direction to look for a schematic. but he hasn't seem to reply.

let's all put our heads together and figure this out.

just keep in mind that 9gb drives are about 10 bucks on ebay. really nice way to get a raid 0 going

Have you priced a FC HBA??? It will scare you! >700 bucks

actually i looked at price watch and you can get a q logic card for about 190 bucks. then a adapter would run about 15 bucks on ebay..

That surprises me!! I checked necx.com and they wanted 800 bucks for an Interphase (uses HP part). Qlogic is certainly the one you want. You might shoot a note to Seagate. They had a bunch of these TCards at one point. Rock on!
