Ok, were ready!! let's roll!!
the first 4 HDD's will require 3 SATA-II cables ($2,25) Volume Discounts
the next 2 HDD's will require a 2 Port PCI-Express x1 Sata-II Card ($15)
also needed, 2 SATA-II cables ($2,25) Volume Discounts
also needed, a Molex To 2-SATA Power Connector cables ($4,50)
So, to sum it up, the different levels look like this:
04 HDD's = ($256) + ($2.25 x 3) = $262.75
06 HDD's = ($256) + ($2.25 x 2) + ($4.50 x 1) + ($15 x 1) = $280
(So going from the 4 HDD's Level to the 6 HDD's Level requires an extra $17.25, HDD's not included)
Now, what's left to know?
