Has anyone ever connected 4 drives to a 1000? I have read here that people have done it with 2000s.

Looking inside, it does have 2 IDE connectors on the MB, unlike the 1100 I have which has no connector soldered to the second port. I think it puts out enough power to spin up 4 laptop drives. Not that 4x40GB would be very practical, but with bigger drives getting cheaper, a 500GB RAID 5 1000 isn't that far-fetched.

Maybe I've got WAY too much time on my hands
