Re: Why SATA on 4400/4200/4500?
Phoenix! Don't give up on this!!! There are those of us out here with the 4400's who have all but stuffed these boxes to the back of the closet due to the high price of the small IDE drives. I finally couldn't pass up the price of a Netgear ReadyNAS DUO chassis last year and purchased two 1.5TB drives to mirror at a mere $99 each. They're cheaper now and I'd love to populate the 4400 with these instead (Enterprise class drives of course).
IMO the lack of response is due to the low number of visitors here any longer, especially those who have these models of products. Heck, even I only visit once every 4-6 months any longer. I've told a couple of guys here at work about your thread, and us techy's are on the edge of our seats!
Hope you complete this thread as our "community" is getting smaller everyday.
If you don't believe there is enough interest in order to do a run of PCB's, I'm sure we're interested on a piece-by-piece basis, or if you don't have the time at all, to educate us on the "how-to" so we can do it ourselves.
