OK, I work in storage solutions, so this is right up my alley. I'll try to address several things that have been stated in this thread. FC drives do have a "SCA" connector, but it is not 80 pin like LVD's SCA connect, it is a completely different connector, so those adapters will not work. The Company that Jay mentioned but couldn't remember is Cinonic Systems. www.cinonic.com I have not actually used their products, but I'm rather tempted. Yes, there ARE cheap FC drives floating around, and yes there is a catch (but it's not really that bad.) Catch #1: finding a cheap FC controller. it takes patience, but they're out there if you have good timing. Catch #2: the cheap ones are USUALLY 9 gig drives (remember you can plug in a virtually unlimited amount of drives to a FC controller) and they are often 7200 rpm and old style (read slower access time than newer drives) They are also 1 gigabit fibre. Most companies with SAN's are upgrading to 2 gigabit fibre, so to them the 1 gigabit drives are undesirable. So, all in all, I think that if you're looking to make a RAID for yourself and want it not to be inside your computer case, fibre is a GOOD option, you just have to have a little bit of patience, and maybe a little ebay luck. I hope I was helpful. - Kremer
