    Shorty.
    SCSI's over the top for home - SATA's good enough. 1Gb on CAT5 is good enough and fibre gives the same performance unless I went single mode. I can also look at parallel nic's to the switch to improve speed.

    5yrs on the seagate & 1yr for the case.
    what could/would/does go wrong with the case?
    Would the power connection & the usb port be considered part of the case I wonder?

    Oh yeah, my remark was not meant to be too serious.

    My home RAID unit, is a PCI IDE card from Silicone Image, with 4x40Gb IDE WD drives, striped and mirrored.
    Linux is installed to it, (I am using it at this moment) where as Windows, even with the Sil drivers installed, acknowledges the cards presence, but still can't even see the physical drives attached, let alone the partitions. Typical.
    Doesn't matter, I just use Samba to share the NTFS partitioned SATA 120Gb data drive, across my little home plaything network.
    And for portable storage, I use the before mentioned Omni USB unit.

    I'm a pensioner, I understand price versus performance. or should that be


    Shorty.
