NAS Build progress
I've found a solution to my space crunch, and it involves standing 5 drives up in a improvised IDE cage, similar to this. I used the metal blanks from unused 5.25 bays. Three would have been better, but I only had two. After running them for a while, I noticed that they got pretty hot. I ordered a 119cfm 92mm fan and some 36" rounded IDE cables to reach the top of the tower. I setup a 5 drive array through Windows 2003, but aborted the format after 3 hours, getting up to 27%. Perhaps the fan and new cables will help.
