SMD controllers on 4D/240

First off, thanks to those who offered their assistance with the SCSI on
the PI.  Still having problems, but maybe someday I'll figure it out.
But now I have some questions about different disks on a different machine.

We have a 4D/240gtx and we are interested in putting some SMD disks on it.
Does anyone have any good or bad comments about doing this?  What controllers,
and how much do they cost?  How is the IO throughput?  I imagine that a fast
machine like the 240gtx should really have no trouble with several gigabytes
of disk hanging off the thing.

Thanks for any info,
mjb.
