I like the 2400A.  Yes, that's IDE, 4 channel, but for what you get
with 2 SCSI drives on the 2110S, you get 2x per disk and 4 disks on
the 2400A.  Use shielded IDE cables if you don't want to trust the
ones that ship with the card.

anoncvs uses the 3ware controller (4-port) while ftp.netbsd.org uses
the hardware raid-5 assisted 8 port IDE controller.  It fairly kick
ass, but unlike the Adaptec line, it isn't managable from NetBSD.
