I was hoping that someone out there would be able to give me some advice on the choices that I've got listed below, and possibly anything else that I've not listed: 1. Always IN 2000 2. Future Domain 1680 3. Western Digital WD7000FASST 4. Adaptec 1522 As you might have noticed, most of these controllers can be found for less than $2000, which is what my budget is. Please email your replies, and if anyone is interested, I'll compile a summary of the answers that I got. Thanks to all, Gerald Lim
