I agree. The stuff from TMC is expensive, the rack mounts cases and
3ware kit. I saw a AMX MAX video server and they're using one of
these for the server:

It's not clear as to how the 8 drives behave in operation. Is each
drive connected to a seperate firewire port? Or are they seen as one
big firewire drive made of 8 ide drives?
Anyone used something like this? - IDE to firewire external drive
enclosure
