Kanguru bank experience?
Hi! i am looking to buy a Kanguru bank. Probably the 4-bay. I was wondering if some of you has already used it and how it was. It's gonna be on a Windows 2000 Server who has already a 80gb. I'm gonna take the 4-bay with 80gb disk, so i can get 320 gb.
Is it the best thing you are suggesting me as for big data storage? It's not that expensive and using USB port seems good to me.
Give me your opinions/suggestions.. thx

I'd recommend firewire over USB
http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=17-146-172&depa=1 is only $41
Firewire generally requires Less CPU power to accomplish data transfers.
or you could create your own using 5.25 enclosures and internal cages to hold the drives that can be pulled out from the front panel.
the hardware to mount in the enclosure is about $30, and comes with a cage for one hdd, additional cages cost about $10
