[X4U] synology disk station

[Ed Gould]

What a friend of mine did (and I paid for it) was to buy 2 500MB HD  
drives and then buy a Mercury ELITE controller (raid) and it let me  
use it as a  1TB
drive OR a raid drive the controller cost about $100(US) and the two  
500MB HD's cost about $90 each (US)

It works well.
