The rr 2722 comes bundled with the sans dig 8 bay and cables at newegg.com, cheap.
Both ports on the card go to the enclosure, So you are left with fw800 for backup. Bummer.
You will easily get 650mb+ read/write with 8 - 7200rpm drives In raid 5 (I have this setup and it is fast for the money)
No tbolt on Mac pro.
