Re: RAID HBA options (now Seagate)

AJA is a very unusual company. They cross ship - most people will not do this. However, VALUE ADDED RESELLERS (like Maxx Digital) will cross ship - so if you buy an ATTO R380 from them, or an Areca 1680x, they will cross ship - however, ATTO and Areca directly will not do this.

There is no one like AJA.

I am cheap too (hey, I use Behringer mixers all the time, because they are so cheap), but once you get burned, and your clients say "we are NEVER going to hire you ever again" for recommending a bad product, you change your mind about being cheap very quickly.
I laugh when I see people swear to Lacie drives, after all the nightmares I have gone thru. And unfortunately recently with Seagate as well. AVID used Seagate exclusively thru the "glory days", and now, Seagate is a mere shadow of what they were. Perhaps they will wake up, and become a good company again.
