Do you really need the speed for backups? You might consider using USB2 instead of eSATA. I have external backup drives configured mirrored (with software raid-1) on USB2. It works nicely. It's not as fast as eSATA would be, but it's adequate. -- -Eric 'shubes' --------------------------------------------------- PLUG-discuss mailing list - [email protected] To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change your mail settings: http://lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss
