So you'd rather a box 10-15 times the size so you can fit the drives inside? Six external drives and the mini take up less than a third the space of my PowerMac G5 (same form factor as the Mac Pro). What's the value in that? And I can plug the six external drives into any system I need to in a second ... it's just one connection. > You and I tend to photograph very different things.

When I was in the business, shooting events and editorial work, I'd come home from a shoot with 2000-3000 exposures, sometimes "in the wee hours", and process them down to a deliverable proof set of several hundred before I went to bed too. ...
