I have had mixed results with their 4 bay version. When they work, they
are great, but we have had a number of DOA/almost DOA units. I have had
good luck with products from
http://www.addonics.com/
(They ship to Canada as well without issue)
Why use USB ? You wll get much better performance/throughput on eSata
(if you have good drivers of course). I use their sil3124 eSata
controller on FreeBSD as well as a number of PM units and they work great.

Hmmm, doesnt look good on any of the drives. Before I give up, I will try the drives in a different cage Monday.

It would be nice to restore them as it will take a while to sync up once again. But if I need to start fresh, is there a resource you can point me to with the current best practices for laying out large storage like this ?

[zfs-discuss] multiple disk failure
Hi, I am using FreeBSD 8.2 and went to add 4 new disks today to expand my offsite storage. All was working fine for about 20min and then the new drive cage started to fail. Silly me for assuming new hardware would be fine :( The new drive cage started to fail, it hung the server and the box rebooted. After it rebooted, the entire pool is gone and in the state below. I had only written a few files to the new larger pool and I am not concerned about restoring that data. However, is there a way to get back the original pool data ? Going to http://www.sun.com/msg/ZFS-8000-3C gives a 503 error on the web page listed BTW. 0(offsite)# zpool status pool: tank1 state: UNAVAIL status: One or more devices could not be opened.
