Have you considered an external USB2.0 hard drive? I love my Maxtor One Touch. On nextag.com I see a 300GB for $218 USD at Newegg. It may be worth rethinking your backup and archiving strategies. (I use removable hard drives for archiving, but that's another story...) -gayn _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
