Yay for dropping hard drive prices :biggrin:

Do you have any recommends for a good (inexpensive) add-in card with external USB3 and internal SATA6 ports?

Even better: an add-in card that can boot an internal SATA6 Gb/s SSD

Does this thing contain 2 hard drives or 1?

only looks big enough for 1 3.5...

Still too expensive... I have successfully been able to avoid another mechanical hard drive for a year ever since the floods/consolidation started, and I'm hoping I can last another year before I have to buy. Hopefully by the end of next year the prices will come down to somewhat reasonable level...
