The TowerRAID TR5M+B is a compact RAID tower utilizing the latest SATA II port multiplier feature, where one single eSATA cable connects to five 3Gpps SATA II hard drives. Bundled with a high performance RAID controller card RR622, its RAID 5 performance is capable of reaching over 200MB/s. Online expansion is a feature included in the controller card so that RAID could be expanded without the need to recreate the storage space or erase the existing data.

Advanced monitoring functions include real time hard drive health status and e-mail notification for critical events. Designed with easy installation in mind, the TR5M+B has five hot-swappable tray modules so that hard drives can be removed and installed with ease. The included dual-port eSATA 6Gb/s PCIe 2.0 x1 RAID controller card allows the connection of up to two TR5M+B units (up to 10 hard drives) using only two cables and all drives could be configured into a single or multiple RAID arrays, providing over 200MB/s in performance.

This is a pretty sweet deal. If you're just starting down the NAS route, though, I would recommend starting with a small full PC. HP makes some great microservers.

That way you're not limited down the road, because as a full PC it can just take more external enclosures if you wind up needing more bays.

Unless you're sane, of course, and won't ever need more than 6 bays. In that case this is awesome.

I use one of these to store copies of my DVD/Blu-Ray collection.

Keep in mind the speed performance isn't all that good, it's an eSATA port multiplier... If you throw 5 2 TB drives it will take about 48 hours to initialize all of them properly.

The management software has a few nice features too. Call-for-help, and even an alarm feature that squeals like hell if a drive fails, or the temp rises above a certain threshold.

Not a farewell, just a forced redirect.

It's true, Local.Woot is no longer, but please don't despair.

Never-ending savings are still to be found on Deals.Woot each and every day, so come on in. Don't think of it as a time for tears. Think of it as a way to bring us all closer together under one roof.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
