Need suggestions for best storage solutions for 3000T

[matt3k]

I'm using an Acard 2000SUP (68 pin version) on the Cyberstorm, get around 25mps with an OWC SATA 3 SSD.

Wouldn't play with anything else...

Hi Tim,


The best option is the Acard 2000SUP (68 pin version) and an SSD on the cyberstorm.

It fits the 3000 perfectly, as the acard is a case that holds the ssd making the case the size of a hard disk drive. Since the card converts to 68 pin, it connects directly to cyberstorm.  Be careful not to buy the 50 pin 2000SUP.

I get 25mps with an OWC SATA 3 SSD.  For speed and long term reliability, this would be my choice.  Price wise, the Acard is about $175 and small SSD's are dirt cheap.

Thanks guys for the suggestions.  Do you know if the Acard 2000SUP 68 pin version is still available anywhere matt3k?

Is this the one?

Hi Tim,

I didn't see them on Ebay.  I'm not sure if the Ultra160 is backwards compatible to the ultra on the cyberstorm.  The 2000 SUP has/had two versions a 50 pin and a 68 pin, the controller is a direct match to the 2000 so it is a good solution.  I will do a bit of searching to see if I can find you one...
