Hey, that's cheap.
Thanks for the link.
Their comparison with TMS's RAMSAN is a bit unfair, though. A good  
part of the price-difference between the two comes from the fact that  
the later connects via FC and it's actually a small SAN-array (hence  
the name). Makes all the eSATA-crap unnecessary and allows for easier  
sharing of the device.
But still, the Hyperdrive looks promising.
The problem is: our servers don't come with 5.25" bays anymore -  
we've long since left that form-factor behind....



cheers,
Rainer
