A couple of us looked at this previously, but it has several fatal flaws.

a) GOS only supports a limited number of specific HBA.
b) It has a tendancy to be a "frankenstein" type solution.
c) Costs to get to the end result.
d) Not easy for the average user.
e) For the 2.5" drives, you lose performance, and once again size, and price/GB.

There is plenty more, but this should be enough.

Again, I am not trying to be harsh, just trying to be helpful. The logistics just doesn't work this route.
Hey
No problem, I appreciate it, it was all just speculation.
Last I recall some other guy was suggesting using adapters and someone said he'd have timing issues and I kinda figured as long as stripped 745n's and HP1500's keep coming into my distributor I'd sell off my snaps.
If you can get it work I'd rather keep snaps running and sell off the newer stuff.
