Multiple SATA drives in one enclosure with firewire
Tobias Weber wrote:
my desks already full, harddrive as well, computer only has firewire left. That's why I want an external enclosure with multiple hard drives. I have a 3.5" SATA left, so that's the internal interface of choice. Then you would be best off adding a sata card to the PC and running eSATA to the external drive. Is Oxford 924 the only bridge available? Nope. How about maximum capacity and ATAPI readyness? The capacity does vary a bit, but most do support drives over 127G now. Computer has 6pin FW400. Can I use FW800 devices? Yes, but only at FW400 speeds. I want neither RAID nor combination, every disk should be available as a separate device, just like with single drive enclosures. This mode is called JBOD? JBOD can mean what you say, or it can mean all the drives combined into one virtual drive which is the sum of the capacity of all the drives. Is it correct that some products can only utilize identical drives? No, not if you arent using RAID. And even if you are, you dont normally need to use identical drives, it will normally just use the smallest drive as the capacity of the RAID. Your experience with the enclosures below?
