I looked into various options for near-line storage. Everything from a=20
1U chassis with a bunch of disks, to dedicated NAS boxes. All were very=20
expensive, and in the end I bought a 2-bay 5.25" disc box with a=20
firewire to IDE interface (Oxford-911 based) and a couple of 300Gb=20
drives for ~=A3500. Works a treat with my Mac...

The same company sells 4- and 8-bay versions:
