I'm looking for an external box that is either SCSI or GigE that initially has about 100GB of storage but having one that is easily expandable by either adding more drives or "daisy chaining" them together would be nice. It needs to be extremely robust with multiple power supplies and all the goodies that would make it viable for a mission- critical, 24x7, has to be there datastore. It is preferable that it doesn't cost a half million dollars and be as big as my house. Thanks. -steve To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hardware" in the body of the message
