I finally bit the bullet and did the following RAID configuration.  All 
mail order.

3ware Escalade 7006-2 with two Western Digital 160G drives

A good link comparing RAID controllers....but beware anything from 
Promise, it's not real hardware RAID, and their Linux support SUCKS, 
from personal experience.

&gt;Well, I am basically looking .. *was* looking ...  for an IDE controller
&gt;with RAID to mirror 2 drives. My system is a dual boot with Windows and Suse
&gt;so the controller has to work with both.  The on-board RAID is flaky so I
&gt;have decided to go with a hw RAID solution.  I tried CompUSA (only 1 card
&gt;and it was for Windows only) so I ordered from Monarch - they are great
&gt;folks, but seem to keep little on hand (not a bad business decision, but
&gt;tough when you want it in hand *today* and locally bought).  I recall
&gt;something on the list about Fry's and went to their site but it had nothing
&gt;about Atlanta on it so I was just curious if their site was out of date or
&gt;if I should make the trek up I85 or not.
&gt;
&gt;So where does everyone buy their &quot;above average joe's needs* hw here in
&gt;Atlanta ? (I prefer finding out by personal recommendations than just
&gt;looking in the Yellow Pages)

&gt;&gt;They had plans to build one in Alpharetta, but then they decided to
&gt;&gt;&quot;reconsider&quot; where in Atlanta to start.

&gt;&gt;&gt;One was proposed I think.
&gt;&gt;&gt;
&gt;&gt;&gt;Perhaps under construction.

&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;Didn't someone say that Fry's Electronics now had a store in Atlanta
&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;(Gwinnett Cty ??)  If so, where is it ?
&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;        
&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;
&gt;&gt;&gt;Not according to their website, check 'locations.'
