[kwlug-disc] (Home) External Storage?

[unsolicited]

Thanks, but that's only 2 bays. I'm talking 4+ bays. 3+hot spare RAID 
5, minimum, plus GB (+eSATA) connectivity. i.e. Storage independent of 
a computer.

Although, given my antipathy towards RAID in general, I suppose 
multiple repositories with JBOD would be just as effective?
