Hi, I have a bunch of older but functioning SATA drives (sata 1, sata
2) of various sizes. And i have a Dlink DNS-323 which i am slowly
filling up (and usually add newer/larger hard drives once they become
cost/effective) so the smaller drives from this dlink are still
useful.

So, i was reading about the drobos (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/
Drobo) and they seem neat but expensive and the ones with enough bays
were way out of my price range. I was also looking at windows home
server's "Drive extender" option as well. I am trying to weigh these,
and any other options for cheaply and redundantly using the myriad of
drives i have.

Does anyone have any suggestions how to cheaply use a bunch of drives
(of varying speeds, sizes, and SATA versions), that are made to look
like one large drive, and have redundancy? Any suggestions/ideas would
be greatly appreciated!

Cheers,

-Gaiko
