Step 1. Go to otherworldcomputing.com. Buy a Mercury Elite Pro Qx2 box (not other model). Fill it not with hard drives (or better yet, SSD hard drives) but with attachments to favorite tape backup drives so you can backup and restore RAID 10 tape workflow. Hand- labelling is a must.
Step 2. (Step 2 gets done before step 1 but has to be planned together). Pick, buy a nice (little) SSD.
Hints and tricks: If you need a small Sata II SSD I just bought a pair of OWC Mercury Extreme Pro SSDs. They were EVERYTHING promised. If you need bigger good SSDs hitch your attention to some of the exchanges in the ARRIDIGITAL website. Most of the SSD hard drives you don`t run across in these 2 places are fraudulent hybrid performance junk that`s not worth it. I haven`t done my own step 1 above so check feasibility and ask more questions.
