Not that particular solution but I have used several of these without 
problem.

Not tried their SATA solutions, they currently don't do one with 'hot 
plug' cages but do have the following:

Hi everyone,


I am wondering if anyone tried this

It seems to only support PATA.  Anyways I was just wondering if anyone 
had any experiences with this box.  Anyone ever compared it to an 
Accusys 7500?


On a side note, anyone knows hardware raid solution similar to this or 
to Accusys's 7500 solution but SATA?

These allmediait guys look like resellers for Accordance hardware:

http://www.accordancesystems.com/

The other designer/manufacturer I've found is:

http://www.arcoide.com/

It appears they both offer SATA options. Accusys claims they offer 
SATA-to-SATA (ACS-75170, -76130 & -76510), but their webpage is so lame 
that it's hard to tell (http://www.accusys.com.tw/prod.htm).

It appears that Accusys has the lowest priced solution in their ACS 
7500. It strikes me that all three of these guys make good looking 
hardware that oughta be a hit, but it's almost impossible to find a 
retailer for any of them (e.g. look for any of this stuff on 
pricegrabber.)

I've been using these in a few places for disk-based backups that we
take offsite. Good results so far.

There are also SATA versions. Contact me off list for more info.
