Hey all!
I'm pretty new here, so I thought I would start off by saying how much I enjoy reading and learning from everyone on these forums. From what I can gather, there is a great deal of knowledge and experience from the people here.
After reading throughout much of the storage threads, I got excited and decided to take my system beyond the lonely 74GB Raptor. So recently (about a week ago), I went out and purchased an adaptec raid controller and two new Fujitsu 15k SAS MBA Series 147GB drives. They are supposed to be pretty fast, so I can't wait to benchmark them. In my careless and impulsive shopping spree, I mistakingly bought the OEM raid controller that did not come with SAS cables.
The cable should be here tomorrow, so I will be sure to let you all know how they do. I didn't see anyone else post any of these drives here, so I thought you all might be interested.
In case you are wondering about the specs:
