Hey Shuckers! What is everyone doing with the empty cases? I'm sure everyone isn't saving them all for warranty purposes. I need 2. I'm going to check eBay but I thought I would ask if anyone knows...

Shucked 3 so far, they're all in my attic (with original packaging) in case of warranty needs. After that I'll throw other drives in & put them into my backup rotation.

BTW for those windows users looking for a raid enclosure, check out "storage spaces" built in functionality. Works with multiple USB external drives.
