Well, I just ordered a 4-port Escalade from eLinux. It's on back order so I dunno when I'll get it. I also picked up some hot-swap ATA-* drive bays. When I get it all up and running (I'll have 2 45 GB IBM 75GXPs in RAID0 in it to start), I'll send a progress report out to the list. If it works out well, I'm going to get an 8-port card and run 8 14 GB IBMs in a RAID10 config... Should be cool.
