Hi first of all this is my first post, so im not sure this is the right place for this post. ok here it goes: HDD Box 4 X 500gb (no raid) the meaning of this box is, that i have got 4Hdd's from Lacie http://http://www.lacie.com/us/products/product.htm?pid=11050 there is 1 problem, it is using big power adaptors so i need to find a way to use only 1 power source and my server has only 3 USB connections ive made a drawing to show u what i like to make HDD's to Lan version http://users.telenet.be/section_8/hdd_box.JPG (warning: image is kinda big) HDD's to USB version http://users.telenet.be/section_8/hdd_box2.JPG (warning: image is kinda big) this could work perfectly, but i want to make sure if there is any other way to do this its like making a cheap raidbox without the raid but the usb to lan convertor is woking on usb 1.1 or i can say that i dont use the USB to LAN convertor and use a usb hub the USB hub can be cheaper and more usefull i have a 10/100 network router with 1 spare connection left and the hdd's are shared on the network on my server so it does not matter if it goes by lan or usb, it will be shared anyway the tools: http://www.usbgear.com/computer_cab...-4XU1&cats=102&catid=2345,112,508,102,120,137 USB to LAN http://www.tigerdirect.com/applicat...pNo=1699339&SRCCODE=WEBINKPLP&CMP=OTC-INKTOMI SATA to USB http://www.usbgear.com/CA4H4M.html USB Hub greetings Sunny
Nice design, I like it. And welcome. I hope all those SATA->USB and USB->LAN adapters daisy-chained together will work, I would just think that having that many adapters could result an incompatibility.
