Pink E02 Max Number of HDDs

What is the maximum number of hard drives this model can support?

How many are you guys running?

I was thinking of getting a hdd rack that holds 5, like this (http://www.amazon.com/Sans-Digital-HDDR ... B001LF40KE) and plugging them all in to a powered usb hub, but i'm not sure if the pogoplug would be able to handle that many drives, or does it not matter?

I would probably need to get a power source for each hard drive too. anyone have any thoughts on what would be the simplest and cleanest solution? the only thing i can think of is right now is getting some SATA to USB enclosures and just using the sata/power that comes with those, but it's cost prohibitive. maybe combine the rack with some sort of 5 sata to usb connector/adapter. is there a power supply similar to the ones for desktop computers but is smaller and only powers hard drives?

i want to get the rack because the hard drives are taking up too much space inside their enclosures... idk, maybe this is a crazy idea.

Uhm, maybe you should just get a powered JBOD with a USB connector?
