With the popularity of these new 1 RU pizza box server enclosures, I was wondering what people are doing to get better disk throughput. Normally these cases only hold one hard drive. Seems like if someone made a PCMCIA drive cage that fit in a floppy disk form factor, you could connect that to something like a promise fastrack IDE raid controller and stuff 4 drives into such a machine to get a bit more fault tolerance and some more spindles thrown at the problem. There is certainly an abundance of PCMCIA notebook drives to choose from, some of which even claim to be ATA66 compatible. I've grown quite fond of these tiny servers in expensive datacenter space and I suspect this would be a boon to people with server farms. Comments?
