Hi guys
Hope there is anyone able to help on here.
I am looking to obtain 2xRAID cards for machines i am building up.
I have researched a bit and a few candidates with the relevant dollar prices is listed below.
Problem being - I dont know of any reputable suppliers overseas which will assist with the shipping.
I am rather sure local suppliers will rip me off on these, so if i can save 2k a card, i will rather try to get them from overseas.
Can anybody assist in getting any 2 of the following cards, where cheaper is better off course ;)
Only condition on these would be that the card should come with the necessary cabling to allow interfacing to 16 x SATA2 hard drives.
