Yes. I have one with 12 and often wish it had more. It comes in handy when you need to test drivers and applications against different distros, and your customers use 4-5 different versions of RHEL, 4-5 different versions of Ubuntu, a couple random versions of SuSe, Mint, Arch, etc. You could of course, have 12 (or 22) different hard drives that you swap in/out of the machine, but that's tiresome and expensive. -- Grant
