8 Hard Drives...

[rhett7660]

So if I got something like this, how would it show up on my Mac? Connected via USB? Ethernet?

Is is fast?

Sorry not very knowledgeable about this stuff, I wanna learn tho! 🙂

If you are really interested in this, start looking at the forum lime tech has. There are people there who are more then willing to help you out.

Is there any 4-bay kit that does JBOD? Unlike the OP, I would wish to have individual drives show up. 😀 I wish to have a 8-drive setup.

As oppose to having 4 x 2-bay, a 2x 4bay setup will only need 2 power adapters instead of 4.

I've asked a CS officer in OWC, and he told me there's no 4-bay kit that support JBOD. Anyone has any recommendation?[/QUOTE]


Are you sure there isn't an OWC product that supports 4-bay JBOD? I have one. Ala it is not connected to my mac anymore, it now sits in my closet connected to my xp box. But just do a search at newegg.com and you will fine a couple that do support JBOD...
