You should really be looking at SCSI if you want more drives. With SCSI
you can have up to 7+ drives.
I just recently built a box with 9 scsi drives on a single controller. The price was right and the biggest problem was a case capable of holding that many drives. 18GB scsi drives are readily available for about $10 each.

Methinks he means $100 and that's rather optimistic. I'd say about $180 or so (US dollars). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Senior Systems Engineer rstevens@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx - - VitalStream, Inc. http://www.vitalstream.com - - - - Polygon: A dead parrot (With apologies to John Cleese) - ----------------------------------------------------------------------
