If you want Linux to have the power of SCSI at the cost of ATA,
you need to explain your desired uses and how many drives you would like
to purchase.
Reply to this address only. You will not get a response.
Should there be enough interest, there will be an announment and a vender
list with drive models. Minimum drive size is expected to be 60->100GB.
This is a survey, because production/delivery of the drives for the
project is under way. If there is no strong desire for the use of this
under Linux, the technology will be sold or forgotten.

The above report on the 4 drive model but it is not limited to this
