[TriLUG] OT: Low cost way to offline 3 Tb

[bak]

"RAID0 or RAID5 technology can deliver an amazing Read/Write speed over 
500MB/s (RAID 0) or 470MB/s (RAID 5) in one compact unit."

I love the specs on these things.  Sorry, nobody is going to be getting 
500MB/sec simply because they have 2 3.0Gb/s eSATA connectors stuck into 
the back of a 8-disk JBOD.
