With price of space these days am seriously considering some kind of huge NAS type thing for backup/media.

Re: 3TB internals on the way

I just bought a 2TB internal, got it in the mail yesterday. Plugged it into my system today along with a new PCI SATA controller, shut my case, and snapped the plastic piece from the SATA serial pin right off the fn drive. The metal pins are still there, so I think it might be ok...

I ended up having to get out my dremel and tin snips to cut out a large portion of metal from this fn computer. I think the drive is still usable, but it looks like this drive will forever be paired with this cable that still has the plastic inside!

That's why my next computer will have front-loading hot-swap bays
