Firmtek vs. CalDigit - what do you get for the money?
by Bob Cole on Oct 16, 2009 at 7:08:35 pm

Shopping for a RAID, again. The difference in price between CalDigit and a vendor such as SeriTek is quite large. I'm comparing a five-drive RAID, the SeriTek/5PM-2SE2, with the eight-drive CalDigit HDOne; the price, once drives are bought for the SeriTek, is something like $1100 vs. $5600.

Admittedly, five drives vs. eight is a factor. But even so, the price difference is amazing. What do you get for your additional money with CalDigit? (A number of vendors are in the CalDigit ballpark, so I don't mean to point a finger at CalDigit - in fact, I like the product very much, from what I've read.)

I'm willing to be convinced. Thanks!

Bob
