[Bioclusters] Urgent advice on RAID design requested

[Chris Dagdigian]

Reliable? With a single power supply?  That may be a good home NAS  
box or perhaps scratch space for a production server but I'd  
certainly not list it in the "extremely reliable" category.

I can't be sure but I think the $499 price listed in your URL does  
not include any actual SATA drives. Other online sites list this  
device (populated 2TB raw) for $1200. For that kind of money I'd be  
looking at Infrant instead of Lacie.

My $.02
