You will need additional hardware. An I/O expander or another HC-200/300/500 or a Global Cache are a few solutions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Kotches Posted April 15, 2010 Share Posted April 15, 2010 Honestly, for the price on amazon it's hard to beat the global cache devices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
