I just need it for storage, and for the Operating system. I'm looking to pick between these 3: Dell 1950 2950 SAS 5/i HN359 HP SAS3080X sas pci-x controller Adaptec ASC-48300 HPQ Not sure what to go with. The dell is known to work with my Mobo, but the others are PCI-Express. As an eBay Associate, HardForum may earn from qualifying purchases.
