and a killer case that I am designing.

The scsi option was way too expensive for only a little bit of improvement. External racks an all. FYI the Glyph rack mount is only a single channel SCSI thus it prevents you from taking advantage of both channels on the ATTO UL4D card. The Storcase Data Silo does provide support for dual channel. http://www.storcase.com/DataSilo/ds320.asp

*** WARNING ****
dont do the g5 jam.
its horrible. heavy enormous.
you cant tour with it. you have to take the drives out.
its will break your computer.
SATA connectors are very very unreliable.
your computer will crash during shows because of heat issues.

just buy a single 10k scsi drive and mount it internally.
or a single raptor, and mount internally.
you DONT need to have dual channels with scsi - you arent doing uncompressed hi-def. thats the only thing you need it for.
this is not scsi bandwidth limited. And single channel of scsi is easily fast enough to do any of this.
