Yes, thanks, nice idea but the machine has only one such slot which I'd
planned to fill with extra ethernet sockets at some time.  I think I
should have bought a slightly less minimal machine, but the idea was
to minimise power usage in a domestic installation.  The director
of finance will not authorise a further hardware acquisition. I'll
probably try a new USB-2 cigarette-case drive, hopefully of higher
quality.  Or if I get more ethernet sockets, maybe an iSCSI device,
assuming that's allowed as a mirror component.  Or maybe quick-release
rackmount hardware, if such exists.

That page says 6x SATA 2.0 but the box only accommodates 2 HDDs.
