We're using two Tekram U2W controllers (don't know the
exact model number) in a fileserver at a customer, each
of them carrying four U160 10krpm disks.  The controllers
are based on symbios 895 chips.  They work great.

They don't support U160, though, but the 80 Mbyte/s is
still more than enough for that type of usage.  You have
to connect a _lot_ of disk to a single controller (and
also use them all at once) to really need U160.

Regards
   Oliver
