I thought it worthy to mention that the hard drive manufacturer Lacie has put out a drive similar to what you were hoping to find for many years. I do not believe it would have solved your extra sata problem, but since they have been putting these bad boys out for so long maybe you wouldn't have bought them in the first place. It is an excellent drive and I own several of them and have had a great experience with them.info on the drive is below:LaCie Big Disk Extreme+ Triple FireWire 400 & 800 | Hi-Speed USB 2.0 1TBTriple interface for universal connectivity on PC/Mac Built-in RAID 0 for Extreme FireWire 800 speed Compact, metal design: stack, rackmount, stand upright LaCie Shortcut Button: launch any application in 1 push Late 2 The Game:

Hi Chris (and anyone else)

Now that you’ve had it for about 7 months, I was wondering if you would still recommend the “miniStack v.3.”

I am in the market for one and am concerned about all the reports I read of enclosures without fans burning out within a few months.

If yours has survived with moderate use, I’d be more likely to buy one.
