SCSI to IDE RAID Controller

I do a lot of work with Photoshop with file sizes reaching 2 gigs. For this reason I started looking around at some RAID solutions. I found this SCSI to IDE RAID Controller that uses IDE drives but has a SCSI interface between it and the computer.


Is this better then the 3ware Escalade 7000 solution?

What do you guys think?

 
WTF is that?

I can't tell if it uses IDE drives on a SCSI interface or SCSI drive on and IDE interface. On that ?fact? alone, I wouldn't trust that thing.

-SUO
 
It takes IDE drives, I heard about this before. I'ts probably just an IDE RAID controller hooked into the SCSI bus (instead of the PCI bus, smart of them).

Skip the SCSI middleman, look at the real IDE RAID solutions if you want IDE. SCSI RAID can't be beat though, and you can be almost certian that the drives are better. A AAA-131 can be down to $330, a Mylex AccelerRAID the same.

Just di yourself a favor and use RAID 5.
