I'm running the following: Gigabyte GA-EP45-UD3P Intel Quad-Core Q6600 2.4GHz CPU 2 Norco SS500 4 x WD750GB 4 x WD500GB 4GB RAM Rosewill PCIe 4xSATA CARD Cooler Master 590 CASE Corsair 650W power supply An OLD ATI video card Kingston DataTraveler 2GB USB And it has been stable for the two weeks I've had it online and I get no pauses or jitter effect when watching a DVD streamed across my network to my XBMC PC. Yes, a new install but so far no problems. Temps stay below 40 degrees C even with all disks spun up and working. Seeing pretty consistent 7,900 MB/sec xor speeds. So far very happy.

I have two Norco SS-500's in a Coolermaster Centurion 590 case, and I've ordered a third. They are nicely made and only having to provide two standard power connectors per chassis is nice and makes for a clean install. I only wish I could have found something that used a multilane SATA cable. I'm running between 35 and 38 celsius per drive when the drives are spun up.
