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.
<tongue-in-cheek> Really? Where? $10! Wow! </tongue-in-cheek>
Methinks he means $100 and that's rather optimistic. I'd say about
$180 or so (US dollars).
Hey Rick,

I was not kidding.....
According to that you aren't. These are new? Not refurbished or "ripped out of old machines"?

This store is somewhat near my workplace. I go there once in a while.
Lots of neat stuff sometimes. Most of the stuff is surplus. Some new and
some used stuff. Mostly obsolete by today's standards. At $10 it is
probably a refurbished drive at best.
Each item says new or refurbished. Shop at your own discretion.
However, for $10 each you can afford to have some percentage bad and still pay less than new prices for the good ones. I have had good luck with the drives. YMMV
