Nah, the 8x2.5"-in-2 are $220, while the 5x3.5"-in-3 are $120. You can get 4x3.5"-in-3 for $100, 3x3.5"-in-2 for $80, and even 4x2.5"-in-1 for $65. ( http://www.addonics.com/products/raid_system/ae4rcs25nsa.asp )

The Cool Master thing you linked to isn't a Hot Swap module. It does 4-in-3, but there's no backplane. You can't hot-swap drives put into that sucker.

Whoops, Erik's links show I was wrong about my first point. Though those 5-in-3s are five times as expensive as the 4-in-3. On Sat, Mar 20, 2010 at 22:46, Ethan <notet...@gmail.com <mailto:notet...@gmail.com>> wrote:

    I don't think you can fit five 3.5" drives in 3 x 5.25", but I
    have a number of coolermaster 4-in-3 modules, I recommend them:

        Thanks for your review!  My SiI3114 isn't recognizing drives
        in Opensolaris so I've been looking for a replacement.  This
        card seems perfect so I ordered one last night.  Can anyone
        recommend a cheap 3 x 5.25 ---> 5 3.5 enclosure I could use
        with this card?  The extra ports necessitate more drives,
        obviously :)
