Besides the power supply/surge/etc with a lot of drives-- I have read: http://www.wrightthisway.com/Articles/cat_reviews.html "As I mentioned earlier, the enclosure will definitely handle drives using Spread Spectrum Clocking (SSC), an increasingly common feature that helps reduce electromagnetic interference, especially between drives in close proximity with each others, such as you might have in a RAID setup, so that is a definite plus here." With 16-24 disks-- if they are close together, it sounds like a good idea to use Spread Spectrum Clocking? Does anyone here with a large-ish raid array use this? Any enterprise-insiders care to comment?
