it to box?
My recommendation is the 2nd option.

Yes, I looked into this and I was looking for a solution with a large number
of drives, but at a good cost point.
So you are saying a full fledged PC with an 8-port sata mobo is a better
solution.
yeah, its cheaper to go direct connect internal jbod.make

Hi Rudi,
If you're building something on the cheap, then you could get an even cheaper
setup with a 4port SATA motherboad, and an add 4port SATA PCI / PCI-e card.

With 8 ports, I could get 8 x 2tb and and have 8th in RAID10.
