We tried putting it in a case, but couldn't get a decent compromise between fitting in the case and short IDE cable-lengths. We used sixteen of the 75gb IBM deskstars, immediately when they came out, and four of the same Promise cards. We've got a 733mhz CPU, and are running RAID-5 in the NetBSD kernel. So a very comparable setup. Twice the capacity, but somewhat lower throughput. It's been working fine since last year. Photo
