tiro_uspsss, thanks for the suggestion, I have looked at that card but 12 ports is is a little too much.

But this seems to be the same model but 8 ports instead and has a fan and it is low profile as well, which I want.

In the RAID controller industry, who is like the top dog, am thinking it's Adaptec?
yeh no one.. never said i did lol

all these sas controllers are meant @ servers/workstations.. once setup/booted they stay on very long periods of time.. users could care less about bootup times


i dont think the low profile 1680 is any faster @ boot up.. maybe 1-5 sec
