In addition I would add that you may not want to stick with SCSI anymore either. Mac have two independent FireWire receptacles. I recently got 120gig 7200 rmp drive and a firewire case with a 911 Oxford chipset to put it in both for a little less than $300 US. Although a super duper high end SCSI raid *might* be fast it kicks the ass of any SCSI rig *I* have used and its compact and hot plugable. Whats more firewire 2 is just about here and it's even twice as fast as SCSI 1. So I really doubt that many people are going to be sticking with SCSI much longer. BTW I too was wondering about the distinction between an audio and a "sound" card.
