"ONLY $570"? LOL!
I just have an issue with spending a minimum of $6K for a base machine and THEN having to spend MORE $ for "cards" just to get more "disk space". :)
Someone earlier mentioned a card for those drives running at $400 & holds 4 drives. Total cost for that card and the 4 drives you mentioned is almost $2,700...close to 50% the cost of the Mac itself.
Nuts! :)
A top of the line Enterprise level 8TB SATA III HD goes for $265.
To each his own!
