I've just bought 6 of their 250GB SATA Maxline Plus II drives. I'll be building them into a Coolermaster case with a couple of fans blowing over them (three drives per fan) and running them off Promise SATA150 TX4 controllers with software Raid. I'll let you know how I get on. (expect lots of questions here when I start trying to build the arrays!
