Funny you should mention that - I am just finishing up building a super-rack for a customer that has two of these solid-state 9GB drives, a Microtech PCD-47B card reader and a CDROM drive. He has it all - plenty of fast storage, card reader for importing and exporting samples and CDROM for loading sample libraries from CD. Because i put in an extra-quiet cooling fan and the drives make no noise, this is the quietest rack piece you've ever seen. You can barely tell it is running. It's built in a Glyph Trip 3U rack and turned out really nice. Here are some pics:
That little toggle switch on the left bottom drive bezel is for enabling/disabling the PCMCIA slot on the PCD-47B. With so many drives in play, we figured he may need the extra SCSI ID and when you disable the slot, the ID number becomes free. Plus we put in a removable bay on top so he will never run out of storage space.
So it can be done - I'll be glad to do one of these for anyone or whatever special type of rig anyone needs. These can be built in tabletop cases as well for those who don't need a rack mountable unit.
The extra-quiet fan is the SUNON KD1208PTS3-6, for anyone who's interested.
BTW, for the record, Lampdog agreed to help me test this drive only if he returns it after the testing. He doesn't want it to seem he accepts gifts or anything and I totally understand. The dude has integrity.
