    Oh, I should mention that these are UW controllers and drives.

    Also, we don't run any external SCSI cabling.  We use integrated rack-mount
    PC enclosures with room in the inside-front for drives.  The KISS
    principle applies big time.  People should always remember that UltraWide
    cabling is limited to (I think) 3 meters.
