Just such a shame that it doesn't have an eSATA interface as well as the USB though, I'd have certainly been willing to pay extra for that, and the performance boost it would have given would have guaranteed it a Gold award!

#5447 Posted on: 05/21/2010 11:18 AM Was looking at that, and aparently if you add an eSATA interface you basically add a great deal of equipment and area for problems:- "The host controller of a JBOD setup may also impact how it can be used. A USB or FireWire host connection will address multiple physical drives, but an eSATA connection requires a SATA host controller with Port Multiplier support, or else it will only recognize the first physical disk." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-RAI..._architectures
