I came across these:
http://www.addonics.com/products/adsau3.php
And was wondering if anyone had any experience using them?
I'm really wanting to build a NAS and use FreeNAS for the OS.
Currently I'm looking at the X9SCM-F motherboard. I noticed it had 6 onboard usb headers, and was thinking this might be a viable option for upping the number of hdds without buying a controller card, though now that I actually type this out it's probably cheaper just to add a couple of 4 port sata cards to the system.
Still I'm curious if anyone had experience with them. Might be useful with some other boards I've looked at with a lack of generous PCI-e slots.
