The answer is dependent on the drives, how > close you are running to the capacity of the supply, etc. Most enclosures > have wimpy power supplies, this is a problem :-( Yes, but I never use enclosures with wimpy power supplies (you should see the one in wcarchive!) so such power sequencing isn't necessary. Yes, you could argue that people jamming multiple drives into PC enclosures with wimpy power supplies will suffer, but then I'd never suggest that people do so, either! If you're going to start using lots of drives, get them their own home and their own nice little PS! Jordan
