Of course 3ware sells 2-space, 3-disk carriers, but they cost about $200 apiece. I have several and they are extremely sturdy. Everything is metal, ventilation is very good and quality is quite high. Unfortunately the price can be a bit much. I'd still recommend them. If you're looking to rack things, I recommend just buying a case that already has the bays installed. I've used rackmountnet.com (specifically the 16-disk 4U cases) and have been satisfied overall. Some components of the bays are plastic and the design requires adjustment of the bays and receiver for the specific drive type. Since they stuff five drives in three (half-height) spaces, things are much more cramped. I did have a problem with one carrier not sliding smoothly in one of the cases. BTW, we discuss things like this at linux-ide-arrays@lists.math.uh.edu (ping linux-ide-arrays-subscribe@lists.math.uh.edu to join). It may be a more appropriate forum than this list. - J< _______________________________________________ linux-lvm mailing list linux-lvm@sistina.com http://lists.sistina.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-lvm read the LVM HOW-TO at http://www.sistina.com/lvm/Pages/howto.html
