We have 3U cases with 8 or 12 hot-swap IDE trays, 4U cases with 16 IDE trays. Also towers with support for up to 16 IDE trays. 3Ware can support a 36" IDE cable using the right cables. In our 3U the cables are only 18" long, and in the 4U they are 24" long. With our best regards, Maurice W. Hilarius Telephone: 01-780-456-9771 Hard Data Ltd.
