Re: EPCIe marketing hype

[Alan Okey] "Unless it were configured with an Apple, CalDigit or other vendor's hardware RAID PCIe card. Isn't the HDElement precisely that configuration?
"

Well not exactly, the HDElement connects to the CalDigit RAID Card via a mini-SAS cable. So neither the Apple or CalDigit RAID Card connect to drives via external SATA.

The CalDigit RAID card is essentially the same as the "guts" of the HDOne. The main advantage of a card like this is the flexibility that it can give you. Instead of just 8 drives, you can start your RAID at 2 drives and migrate all the way to 16.

[Alan Okey] "As the cost of a hardware RAID eSATA solution approaches the entry price point for the better ePCIe options that you mentioned, and when you consider the added benefit of not adding more heat to the host system, I'd personally opt for the ePCIe solution. "

ePCIe is awesome, and I think it has a long future much like fibre has had.

Alan thanks for this discussion, I think it will be very educational to many people. ePCIe tends to get a little confusing at time.
