They make special carry cases if your worried about damage during transport.
I kinda liked the idea that even the backup images were on a RAID system.
But I suppose if a person cycled through a couple hot-swap drives
you would have multiple images in different locations
that would serve essentially the same purpose.
And it wouldn't be likely that multiple drives would fail.
Interesting idea.

Do you know of somebody who makes a quality hot-swap drive bay?
I had dealt with some in the past (for swapping OSs in a machine)
but they were mostly plastic and I somehow managed to kill a drive using them.

Thansk for the info, JELo
