That price can't be real. I still think I should order one.

 

[HellRaven]

wow, that is a really low price for something that can do all the different levals of raid. They claim it is a closeout. The companies name is "Dirt Cheap Drives".

It says 30 day warrantee + whatever is left on the manufacturers warrantee which varies depending on when it was manufactured.

Beware their 15% restock fee for any returns.

They have a 4.9 rating on resellerratings.com

[Vegito]

Is this baby used ? Anyone know ?

 

[db]

Hmm, all I need now is an armload of scsi drives.

 

[Maverick215]

Here's a link to the mylex page on this product....

 

[Maverick215]

the way I read it... you need another scsi controller on board to get raid...
Am I wrong?

 

[mamisano]

"The AcceleRAID 250 has one Ultra2 SCSI LVD channel on the adapter"

Is LVD (Low VOltage Differential) the same as a regular SCSI drive??

 

[w3b]

tempting.. very tempting.. but still not sure about the product details... can anyone fill us in?

 

[GeoffS]

mamisano- LVD is not the same as 'regular' scsi, however, I believe that 'regular' SCSI drives can work on an LVD chain.

ARGHH!!! sooo very tempting, I think I'm going to have to get it. Anyone know if this has any linux drivers? These are the OS driver supports I could find....

o Windows NT server 4.0 and enterprise edition
o NetWare 4.11 & above, 5.x and SMP
o SCO UnixWare 2.1, 7.0, UNIX OSR 5.x
o DOS 5.x, 6.x and above

I don't see anything about linux. The worst thing about this deal is that I have no SCSI devices... guess I got to go get some... anyone know any good scsi devices deals out there??

 

[BA]

Said it had Linux drivers somewhere.

Maverick, it has one Ultra2 LVD channel, and will enable RAID for the onboard controller, assuming your motherboard supports it.

Now, since there's only one channel, if I go hooking up narrow CD-ROM's, will that go farking everything up? It reverts to the lower speed, right?

LVD (Low Voltage Differential) SCSI is the 68-pin. Cable length limit is shortened because of the higher output. 80MB/sec total.

This is a great buy if you already have SCSI drives. Otherwise, the cost/performance is not worth it to switch technology. I'd stick with IDE since cost/performance is much better.

Oh, by the way the spec sheet is here.

 

[richiew]

strange.. it's now $0.00

 

[gregulator]

just called and they are sold out... oh well, maybe next time

 

[SuperSix]

I ordered 2, got the stoopid "Out of stock" email..

Suck..

 

[LevcoS]

I'm fairly certain LVD will destroy normal SCSi drives and vice-versa... as a result of the different voltages running on the signal cable.

Any SCSI gurus confirm?

[slaman]

It shows $0.00 now

what was the original price?

 

[deiseldl]

On the website the price is 0.00 I put an order through and the price total is just shipping...

Plus it lets you order alot of them and when you do an update it is still 0.00

GO BUY some..

I bought 1

 

[Hittman]

I just got the "Out of Stock" message. Oh well, it was worth a try.
