    Attaching 3.5" disks to WL-HDD

    In the thread http://wl500g.info/showthread.php?t=906 some people have been discussing the option to attach 3.5" disks to a WL_HDD

    I think this a very appealing option, and I have been looking to find the necessary hardware to make it work. I do not (yet) own a WL-HDD, so it would be nice if someone who does own a WL-HDD can check whether the hardware selected below would do the job.

    Furthermore I would like to know if it would be possible to add basic RAID functionality (mirroring) to the WL-HDD firmware and perhaps a tool similar to SWAT to manage Samba

    http://www.cablesonline.com/6in525ypwers.html 5.25 " y power cable (6", maybe 12" would be better)


    If ordered from the above site the whole package would cost around 37 USD, however shipping to NL would be 45 USD, and probably some amount of (Dutch) VAT and perhaps other taxes (anyone familiar with buying online from US shops?)

    Does anyone know a (Dutch / European) shop where you can buy these or similar things for a reasonable price?

    If this is no option we may reduce the price buy buying together with a number of people to reduce the price. Anyone interested?
