Not planning to. :-) One option I was looking at was something along the lines of Addonic's "Storage Rack" with 5SA hotswap trays for the disks. The box can handle up to 15 disks over one SATA multilane card though the use of 3 PMs internally. With that example I'd be using a PCI-X/133 card. -- Drew "Nothing in life is to be feared.
