I'm thinking of the Data Robotics unit for external storage, not as a working drive. I have five drives in my computer, and will be adding a sixth at some point, removing a Gigabyte I-Ram to make room for it. My final drive configuration will be 2 striped pairs and one mirrored drive in the computer. This will give me pretty much all the drive performance I need, but I like the idea of an external array for redundant data storage. I'm thinking that for this purpose, a USB interface will be fine, though obviously an eSata or Firewire would be better.
