[mythtv-users] NAS RAID 5 for MythTv

[Robert Kulagowski]

I ended up with this:

which cost me a total of ~$140 including shipping.

Add an IcyDock 5 in 3 SATA:

and I still have an insane amount of bays left for drives.  The nice 
thing about the IcyDock is that the SATA drives connect using the SATA 
power connector, but the actual chassis itself uses 2 ea standard 4-wire 
molex power connectors, so you don't need a SATA power supply.  And 
since SATA supports hotswap, I can pull a drive without shutting down. 
(Got it connected to a 3Ware 9500 which supports hot pulls)

As far as fit and finish, this is probably the nicest chassis I've ever 
installed; everything is machined _exactly_ where you'd expect it to be, 
so you don't end up with mounting holes in the wrong place.

However, it _is_ a honkin big case.
