    How heavy is that???

    EDIT: And if one of the HDDs dies, imagine having to check them all to see which one it is.

    So 25x120GB = 3000GB = 3TB

    Damn that's some storage.

    my question is as follows:

    Why would someone with that much money to waste, not simply buy a case that could really hold all of those drives, and provide better airflow.

    That would be hell to defrag wouldn't it ?

    I just picked up a Diamond Max 9 120GB myself, let's see how this baby performs then we can talk about adding more... just not that much more.

    A very good question...I don't see how those fan can even aqueeze air between the hard drives. They are basically stacked on top of each other in that case, lol.

    that is retarded, who the heck needs 2.6 Terrabytes o space for a home system (if it weren't a home system, then I'd think it would at least be running scsi drives, and maybe be in a more respectable case. Or would just be a NAS rahter than a mess of ide hard drives.).
