Im curious as to whether it's possible or whether anyone has created a switcher for eSATA much like a keyboard/monitor switch?
So two PCs each with eSATA cards in, both connected to a switch that, in turn, is connected to an eSATA RAID box. The switch determines which of the PCs can see the RAID at any one time.
Better still, a switch that can share the drive. Heading towards a SAN here though but not as expensive as FC?
Is this even possible? a DIY job?
thanks
