The ORB does sound nice, but the SCSI PC drives have never made it to
market. I spoke with Castlewood and they keep promising they're coming
(mid-September to October now is their latest prediction), but without a
fast reliable SCSI interface I wouldn't be interested in their drives.
The SCSI drives are being manufactured overseas (from the US) according
to the ORB spokesperson.
I have also heard some reports of ORB drive failures with the
internals, supposedly heat-related.
