Thanks to everybody's help My flex is running nice and fast with both sata ports filled... Which leads to my next problem/question!
I have read that the goflex net supports port multiplying. I have never messed around with this before on any system so I have been reading up on it. I was hoping if anyone else has done this if they could share their experience as well as answer a few questions. I' would like to add another 5 ports to my flex and so was looking at this http://www.amazon.com/Micro-SATA-Cables ... multiplier
Would this work?
now I now I will have to add my own power supply for the hdds i assuming 5w roughly (correct?) per 2.5 inch drive 5x5=25 watts. What is the most power efficient way to power this? The idea I had was a powered usb hub where I rub 5 USB cords from a rigged up molex to sata adapter running the 5V lines together after trimming off the molex end(with ground of course!) Bad idea? horrible idea?
Any thoughts or help would be greatly appreciated
Thank you again for everybodys help and support!
