<br>RAID to connect them as you wish. The only downside seems to be it is<br>1394A, which limits you to 400MB.<br><br>They do sell other similar systems, including a eSATA version, and I'm<br>sure there are other companies that sell similar setups as well. This
<br>one is nice because its cheap. Though it does require PATA drives<br>(which may limit overall speed).<br></blockquote></div><br>Yeah, I was just drooling at their SATA version (the DS-1220). It's $800, so definitely pricier than the 1210, but for that, you get a12-drive SATA enclosure which supports RAID 0, 1, 10, and 5, as well as non-RAID, and
3.0 GB/s transfer rates. And given that (like the DS-1210) it comes with all the gear, including a PCI card, drive mounts, etc, to get it working out-of-the-box, it looks like a fantastic deal to me.<br><br>Unfortunately, I actually need to finish my basement first before splurging on things like racks and multi-terabyte hard drive enclosures, or my wife will kill me. ;)
