I have been using this thing for months! It rocks! http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16817388004
this is an animation of showing how it works http://lib.store.yahoo.net/lib/cooldrives/asdfasdfsdfsadf23423432.jpg You installed it internally to a 5.25" drive bay. Connect it to the motherboard's SATA port. You can then just slide-in and out a regular 3.5" SATA harddrive. It's native SATA connection so it works very fast. SATA is also hot pluggable. There are other similar enclosure out there. With external enclosure, you have to hook up to either USB or Firewire. That's one layer of data conversion (from SATA to USB for example). With this, there isn't such conversation. There are other mobile racks that installed to the 5.25 drive bay too. But the best part for this rack is, you don't need to buy any additional tray (usually cost $20 each). You just slide in a regular 3.5" HD. With all the cheap HDs are there now, it is virtually an unlimited storage device for your video editing. ----- Original Message ----- From: John Morgan To: [email protected] Sent: Wednesday, February 14, 2007 11:04 AM Subject: RE: [AP] Re: Disk space By "internal" below, I mean single drives, not striped. Sorry, John External drives are the only way to fly! Considering internal drives are only capable of 40-60 MB/s transfer speeds, you can achieve MUCH higher transfer speeds (thus allowing more realtime functionality) with external arrays....depending upon drive type, RAID setup, striping, disk controllers etc. My Galaxy HDX (4TB, 16-drive array via dual channel ATTO Celerity FC-42XS fibre channel controller) rips along at 411MB/s read speeds...ideal for multi-stream HD editing.
