What kind of enclosure do you have this in?
I also subscribe to the "almost commodity hardware" philosophy,
however I've not been able to find a case that comfortably takes even
8 drives. (The Stacker is an absolute nightmare ...) Even most
rackable cases stop at 6 3.5" drive bays -- either that or they are
dedicated storage racks with integrated hw RAID and fiber SCSI
interconnect --> definitely not commodity.
Thanks,
