October 27, 201411 yr With USB 3.0, drives run close to normal SATA speed. USB array boxes allow a cost effective method to add storage or do pre-clears without the eSATA hassle. (i.e. controller cables, port multipliers) I believe all that is required is some kernel settings to scan all LUNS on scsi devices. root@unRAID:/usr/src/linux-3.9.11p-unRAID# grep -i LUN .config # CONFIG_PREEMPT_VOLUNTARY is not set # CONFIG_SCSI_MULTI_LUN is not set Once this is done, perhaps we can add an experimental /unsupported feature to allow these devices to be added as array devices. Could be good for cache/BTRFS or apps drives.
