Firstly thanks for the info Steve.

Now about that adaptor, this drive has the ability to switch to Single
Ended mode. So what I need to know is in terms of performance what would be
the best run them as Single Ended or add the adaptor/converter. I'm going
to run them as a massive store to disk solution to cut down on some backup
time.

Do you have any more information about that adaptor/convertor?

Thanks again :)
