S'True. I do know that. Even more importantly to someone doing a backup server
or a NAS, it takes more electricity to run more drives, and that my cost more
over time than the drives themselves.
I do apologize for the snottier parts of my reply to your first note, which I
am editing. I did not get a chance to read this note from you before
responding.
