Hi Micheal, You can buy an external chassis for your hard drives along with the TX2000 which provides the ability to hotswap the drives. I've been using the TX2000 without this and it's worked fine as RAID 0 - as long as I don't have the need to hotswap :-) http://www.promise.com/product/product_detail_eng.asp?productId=93&familyId=7# GL!
