What do you do when you have an eSATA case you hate and 20 spare USB Bridgeboards?

Black, it's essentially a giant USB hard drive made from spare parts.

Something on the bridgeboard is acting as the storage?

Yeah check the first pic again. Grimmy's got 4 hard disks in there. The new USB port now sees them all, presumably as 4 independent drives.

That said, if my understanding is correct, transfer speeds among them should be painful when/if transferring to each other, since sharing one USB bus.
