A single eSATA connector for a box holding 4 disks? Sounds interesting. Do you have a link to a sample of such enclosure?
In or via Europe for example there is Fantec brand They have e.g. 8-bay enclosure with usb3 and esata via portmultiplier backplane or something Look for FANTEC QB-X8US3-6G on amazon.com / ebay.com There is also a 4bay case by them I am not in for the speed, so mdraid software based with single esata and port multiplier would suffice for me as I am not in for high speed reads or writes, but I am looking into a robust and resilient setup which is not too complicated. Meanwhile I have read about all sorts of problems of the btrfs builtin raid there, so I guess i will stay away from that, and zfs is also kind of exotic for opensuse? guess it will be some raid10 or raid6 then via mdadm. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
