Not that particular solution but I have used several of these without 
problem.

Not tried their SATA solutions, they currently don't do one with 'hot 
plug' cages but do have the following:

Hi everyone,


I am wondering if anyone tried this 
(http://www.allmediait.com/html/araid.html) hardware raid solution.  
It seems to only support PATA.  Anyways I was just wondering if anyone 
had any experiences with this box.  Anyone ever compared it to an 
Accusys 7500?


On a side note, anyone knows hardware raid solution similar to this or 
to Accusys's 7500 solution but SATA?

I've been using these in a few places for disk-based backups that we
take offsite. Good results so far.

There are also SATA versions. Contact me off list for more info.

These allmediait guys look like resellers for Accordance hardware:

http://www.accordancesystems.com/

The other designer/manufacturer I've found is:

http://www.arcoide.com/

It appears they both offer SATA options. Accusys claims they offer 
SATA-to-SATA (ACS-75170, -76130  -76510), but their webpage is so lame 
that it's hard to tell (http://www.accusys.com.tw/prod.htm).

It appears that Accusys has the lowest priced solution in their ACS 
7500. It strikes me that all three of these guys make good looking 
hardware that oughta be a hit, but it's almost impossible to find a 
retailer for any of them (e.g. look for any of this stuff on 
pricegrabber.)
