Okay... since this is not something I can go to the local office supply
store (around here its either that or mail order) and pick up and look
at it and see that tab A goes in slot B (i.e. how things physically
fit/work together)... how exactly would I set this up, and what would I
need?
Lets say that I want to go with a four-bay enclosure as mentioned
before. Something like this is what I had been looking at:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16816132029
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822145298
4-bay enclosure w/ eSATA card + cable: $130
Hitachi 2TB SATA HDD ($120x4): $480
Grand total: $610
vs...
http://www.pc-pitstop.com/sas_cables_enclosures/sas4bay.asp
Then I would need a SAS HBA card like this:
http://www.pc-pitstop.com/sas_hba/arc-1300-4x.asp
Plus a cable like this:
http://www.pc-pitstop.com/sas_cables_adapters/8888-1M.asp
Which if I get it all 'bundled' from that place, prices out like this:
4-bay enclosure: $279
Areca 1300x4 card + cable: $197
Hitachi 2TB SATAII HDD ($130x4): $520
Grand total: $996
Is it really 50% mo betta? If so, is the SAS setup I listed a good,
basic choice? I'd rather this stuff last a long, long time if possible.
TIA,
Monte
