Could this work?
Could you get one of these:
https://secure1.sonnettech.com/product_info.php?products_id=399
Plug that into your MBP (17")
Then get this:
http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Micro Accessories/SAS480001M/
Plug that into the adapter
Then get 4 of these:
http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Other World Computing/MEQX2T8.0S/
And plug them into the Mini SAS to 4x eSata adapter.
Could that work? Because those enclosures are Hardware RAID so they show up on the mac as one drive.
What am I not thinking of?
