Harry, Retrofit for 2.5 drives. You can fit about 12-16 of them in that same area. Give some space for cooling and air flow. Makes a 12TB-16TB storage array.

It would be not practical to mount anything outside the case, since you need as much SATA cables from the controller, as drives you have. And using SATA extenders is NOT advisable, due to unknown affects that chips inside extender have on data flow (unless it is all SAS drives because SAS is another thing because it is routable). Nonetheless, having external drives in tower would need some case and that brings us back to mounting drives in (bigger) PC case as better solution. nikolam _______________________________________________ openindiana-discuss mailing list openindiana-discuss@openindiana.org http://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss _______________________________________________ openindiana-discuss mailing list openindiana-discuss@openindiana.org http://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss
