July 29, 200916 yr It's $269.98 at MWave.com now. so tempting.... + $10.00 coupon code "BK2SCHOOL" =$259.98
July 30, 200916 yr Wonder why the RPC-4220 costs less then the RPC-3216 which is a more applicable setup for unRAID?
July 30, 200916 yr I only see 15 + parity + cache (17 spots) on mine. "What is the difference between the unRAID licenses?" The asterisk note at the bottom explains that the increase to 20 drives is only available with the latest beta versions, but user reports say that the extra drives are not fully supported yet.

The asterisk note at the bottom explains that the increase to 20 drives is only available with the latest beta versions, but user reports say that the extra drives are not fully supported yet. So unRAID is going to 20 on the next version? How do you get that many ports to hook them up? I'm using the Supermicro C2SEE motherboard w/Rosewill 4 port PCI-E. How do you add 10 more ports to this setup?
July 30, 200916 yr How do you add 10 more ports to this setup? Well, how about this configuration.

I would be inclined to look at a Promise TX4 for the PCI card. If your motherboard happens to support 66mhz PCI cards (Which I would suggest researching), you will get 266MB/s throughput instead of 133MB/s.

According to description from monoprice.com that $17 4 ports PCI SATA card does support 66MHz bus speed. "The board provides a 32 bit, 33/66 MHz PCI interface on the host side and four, fully compliant Serial ATA ports on the device side to access Serial ATA storage media such as hard disk drive, floppy disk drive, CD-ROM, CD-RW, and DVD-ROM drive." http://www.monoprice.com/products/product.asp?c_id=104&cp_id=10407&cs_id=1040702&p_id=2667&seq=1&format=2
