Bought a bundle from NewEgg - CR-H458 w/2x 2TB ST20000DM001 drives for $288.24 total.

I stuck two old ST320000641AS drives in at well.

I haven't decided if I like RAID-5 or RAID-10 better.

I'm pretty impressed how everything -- including their CineRAID HW RAID Manager software -- "just worked" with the new Mac Pro.

As a followup:

It's not particularly loud, but next to the new Mac Pro, it seems loud.

Tried to move it under my desk via an AmazonBasics Extension cable, but then I got a bunch of I/O errors.

It may ultimately wind up as NAS.
