Hi all,

I am going to get a new HD controller for my Linux box.

I am thinking about the AHA 2940 SCSI controller or get a 
PCI Promise EIDE controller with cache memory (..maybe 2Mbytes) 
but I am not sure at all if I must go into the SCSI world.

I know SCSI allows high data throughput and it controls more devices
but PLEASE:

- Do you know if the 2940 works great under Linux?. Do I really get
  big advantages using this controller?

- What's about the Promise PCI controller?. Any experience?


Any clue? ;-)

Thanks in advance,

Felix
