No list like this could be complete and up to date for long; I'll gladly take updates. See http://www.disktrend.com for one good list of RAID vendors, and http://www.sresearch.com/search/105431.htm for another. Other reviews are available at http://techweb.cmp.com/techweb/nc/612/612rev3.html, http://techweb.cmp.com/nwc/613/613rev1.html and http://www.byte.com/art/9509/sec11/sec11.htm. (steven@nijenrode.nl (Steven Hessing), 1996/3/30) The November '94 issue of _Advanced Imaging_ has a big article on storage, primarily RAID arrays, with a pretty comprehensive list. This table is distilled from that. Most of the info appears to be from the vendors themselves. Almost all of these are fast/wide SCSI; a few are Fibre Channel, NuBus, PCI or HiPPI (usually with IPI-3 command set). Most of these vendors have more than one model, only a few are listed here. (rdv,95/1/18) Most of these have some web presence; a Lycos search would turn up their sites.
