Raid arrays on ebay (was: RE: [rescue] SS1k on ebay)

[Bruce Pullig]

Yes this is just the "drive tray" for a RSM 2000 now known as an 
A3000.   They are differential.  It is just a JBOD without the controller 
and RAID Manager 6.   They were made by LSI Logic...the controller would 
look like a MetaStor 3300's controller, except it would be copper instead 
of fibre.

I'm halfway tempted to get one even without the controller for $250.  It 
would be nice to hang off my differential SCSI...but only halfway tempted 
at the moment.
