[Jeffrey Thompson]

This is an interesting hard drive array:

   - External
   - USB 3.0 (640 MB/sec transfer)
   - 2.5 & 3.5 HD formats
   - Hot-swap

Questions for the IT Discuss:

   - Has anyone used this system or anything like it?
   - Any USB 3.0 cards you would recommend to enable a computer to use this
   device?
   - Do you know of anything else like it?
   - What has been your experience with USB 3.0?
   - Is it as fast as they claim?

I see this as a potentially useful device to move large amounts of data over
a short period of time connected to the IT Specialist desktop.
