If you got stuff laying around like hard drives and cables, and all you need
are a couple of pass-through terminators, why does it not make sense? In most
places I've been, there's been an abundance of old equipment laying around,
including external drive bays, scsi drives, and cables. I would not hesitate
to use this in a firewall scenario if it added robustness to the situation,
even at the expense of $100 for terminators.
