4-bay RAID NAS packed in, I need to connect 4x 2.5" laptop drives to a Linux box to recreate the RAID. I'm happy with the software side, it's the hardware I'm struggling with. I don't have access to anything with 4x sata slots on the mobo and don't really want to buy hardware specifically for this purpose. can I buy 4x of these http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/like/251929863836?adgroupid=13585920426&hlpht=true&hlpv=2&rlsatarget=kwd-131843278386&adtype=pla&ff3=1&lpid=122&poi=&ul_noapp=true&limghlpsr=true&ff19=0&device=c&chn=ps&campaignid=207297426&crdt=0&ff12=67&ff11=ICEP3.0.0-L&ff14=122&viphx=1&ops=true&ff13=80 and mount via usb? I have a machine with 4x usb slots, however I'm envisioning power being an issue. how can I power these externally?
