I just wanted to clarify here... despite whatever Iomega says, JBOD means that each disk in the chassis shows up independantly to the controller. No striping, mirroring, spanning, etc. Mirroring, striping, etc, all are some sort of RAID. Spanning is not part of the RAID spec AFAIK, but I am somewhat perplexed as to why someone would use it when it seems to have all of the disadvantages of striping, but none of the benefits. So poster "incorrect description" (what a surprise), is incorrect. James is also a bit incorrect, RAID 0 is still RAID.

S3 looks exact same as MyMusix. Same screen, same controls, SD based, etc. Not a bad player at $11 shipped.

Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.

"I commonly need to boot a system from an external disc and take a snapshot of the host system. I also then need to burn a copy of the image to a DVD. While I can do it with two separate external devices, and two power supplies, and two I/O cables, it'd be nice to find a small dual-drive enclosure. It would need to have USB, eSATA, and FireWire. Either slim-line or half-height bay for the optical burner would be fine, and space for either a 2.5- or 3.5-inch hard disc. Any ideas?"
