OpenBSD 4.9 Release

This is my latest OpenBSD purchase.   Very cool.

Low cost, high performance portable storage.

I am continually amazed by how much technology you can buy nowadays at very low cost.

Here is one of my latest finds:


  1. Vantec NexStar MX Dual 3.5in SATA HDD Enclosure w/ RAID, USB2.0 / eSATA
    http://www.memoryexpress.com/Products/PID-MX21333%28ME%29.aspx
  2. Then get two of these: Seagate 2TB Barracuda Green SATA III w/ 64MB Cache
    http://www.memoryexpress.com/Products/PID-MX32060%28ME%29.aspx
  3. ST Lab A-341 2-Channel Serial ATA II PCI-E RAID Card w/ eSATA
    http://www.memoryexpress.com/Products/PID-MX18438%28ME%29.aspx

This way you can have a portable 2TB mirror raid set that can plug into a high performance eSATA port OR a convenient USB 2.0 port.

Nice.

End of line.
