FireWire 800 with dual-drive bridge board

Submitted by dankephoto on October 5, 2006 - 3:26pm.

I'd build a 2 drive raid using a dual-drive-capable FireWire 800 interface board. Lodge the whole mess inside a well-cooled external housing, like old large SCSI drives used to use, lots of those around for cheap. Did I mention well-cooled??? 'Cause lots and lots of pre-made solutions come in really crappy poorly-cooled cases that aren't worth your saliva to spit upon. Sticking out tongue
