Well, I don't know about this system, but as Peter said, Infrant's offering is really nice. Expensive, but nice. It's an expandable hardware RAID-5, and without drives, it's still expensive but quite a bit more affordable when you add drives by yourself, one at a time.
I ended up building my own RAID-5 system cuz it's cheaper and much more expandable than 4 drives. My current system can handle 16 drives at high speed (2x PCI-X at 8 drives each) and more if I'm willing to drop to PCI speeds (though for what I do, I doubt I'll notice that transfer rate drop).
Now that we've thrown 'em off the trail, use the form below to get in touch with the people at Engadget. Please fill in all of the required fields because they're required.
