Any particular reason for not using SAS with this? LSI 1068 work well and are affordable if not cheap. They only support 3Gbps SAS, but then, you probably won't need more. The LSI 1068E has external connectors.

I all pedagogikk er det essensielt at pensum presenteres intelligibelt. Det er et elementært imperativ for alle pedagoger å unngå eksessiv anvendelse av idiomer med fremmed opprinnelse. I de fleste tilfeller eksisterer adekvate og relevante synonymer på norsk.
