TO OWC Michael It’s undoubtedly GREAT to see responses coming directly from the OWC staff like this. If even 2×2.5 disks can be stacked in a single 3.5 drawer (sideways or not), it would be a great product I believe.

A 2-disk solution would be best having RAID 0/1/JBOD and port-multiplier modes. Now, a little extra out-of-the-box-thinking: If the space proves to be too little for 4 disks, what if you review the OWC SSD so that it can be ‘bare-boneizable’ i.e. Have the metal shell removeable, and stick just the logic board on the drawer? Removing the metal shell can give a few extra milimeters of space, what might be just what’s needed for the extra logic/cabling/ventilation.

It would only be compatible with OWC’s offerings though, so having the SSD being convertible between ‘bare-bones’ (just the logic board) and standard 2.5′ drive helps keeping the costs down with clever engineering. I still think it will be more popular if your engineers can manage to fit the 4×2.5′ disks in there.
