Right now you can pay ~$350 for a 20-disk enclosure from NewEgg: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811219033 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811219021 These get you 20 SATA/SAS hot-swap bays PLUS space to place a MOBO and controller! You just need to supply the motherboard and SATA cards/multiplexers, cables, etc to make your NAS server! -derek -- Derek Atkins 617-623-3745 [email protected] www.ihtfp.com Computer and Internet Security Consultant _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://blu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
