I don't know if Bell Tech has support for it.

My preference is either CDC or Maxtor.  Both have proven to be high quality,
high performance products.  But I don't know of any HD's that won't work with
the card.

The more drives the better.  In benchmarking, 2 drives doubles throughput
if the file systems are both being accessed and 3 drives triples and
so on and so forth.

Of all the distributors for the product, Tandy has the lowest price.
