No raid involved Ric, just 3 drives in a hot swap cage, tigerdirect.com
did have them, about a $70 bill when I bought this one after Jim showed
me that was what he was using in all his new builds at the tv station.
Here, sda is the drive I am booted from,
sdb is a previous install in case I need something that wasn't copied
over
sdc is the virtual tape drive, playing like its 30 big backup tapes for
amanda, the "Advanced Maryland Automatic Network Disk Archiver", the
backup program.
If I Recall Correctly, available up to 6 drives wide in case you want a
boot drive and a 5 drive raid. Truely excellent drive cooling too.
Mine stay under 100F full time.
If you'd like one, I suggest getting it now as the advent of Solid State
Drives is probably making them obsolete in the Chinese makers view.
But the hot swap has never been tested, I always power down.
Cheers, Gene Heskett
