that's a good point. our first product used laptop drives. at the time one could get more bytes/u of rack space with laptop drives. that's no longer the case. sata drives have gotten much larger and faster. laptop drives have gotten a little bigger but not much faster. if you want a really cheep aoe device. use vblade on a pair of fs(3)-mirrored sata drives. i do that at home. - erik
