ATA133 RAID cards
Im lookin at getting an Ultra ATA/133 RAID card for my G4. Preferably I want with RAID and supporting at least 2 channels. What are some cards that will work with OS X? I am wondering if some of the generic PC ones work in OS X since they are a lot cheaper than some of the ones Ive seen advertised for Mac.

I have a SIIg Ultra ATA 133/100 pro RAID. It was cheap when I found it, and it's (as far as I can tell) the best ATA RAID card there is for the Mac. Check it out: <a href="http://siig.com/products/ide/features/UltraATA133_100RAID.html" target="_blank">SIIG</a>
[EDIT] I just remembered why it was so cheap.. The SIIG card ($150) is the ACARD ($440) Acard just takes the SIIG card, and slaps their name on it.
>>> I $H*T YOU NOT <<< Believe it. I read an article about it, and bought it before SIIG decided to up the price on it, but as I see now I don't think they ever did. [EDIT]
I saw it at <a href="http://www.DealMac.com/" target="_blank">DealMac</a> about a year ago, but I cant find it in a search. Where ever I picked it up it was pretty cheap at the time.

<strong>I can not comment on the SIIG card, but I have been using the ACARD RAID ATA133 card for a few months now. </strong><hr></blockquote>
You must have missed the part where I said "The ACARD is the SIIG card". It's not a similar card it is the exact same card shipped in a different box.
Love it.
