RE: Hot Pluggable

["Marc Fuller" <marc@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hey Phil,

I've actually already tried the USB caddy but found it terribly slow and
unreliable. I would be copying like 30000 files and it would fail half way
through for not apparent reason. I also had it on a fast USB port but it
was soooooo sloooooow. :D

Cheers

Marc

solution for my automation/media server. What I basically want is two new
drives on my server, both 120gb. They should be in caddies so they can be
removed easily. I also need to be able to remove/insert them without
downing the server. I don't need RAID or anything like that... just a
simple IDE ATA133/100 drives. They will be used for disk to disk backups,
then moved off-site.
