Huh?  You can find a 2.5" IDE drive quite inexpensively, in fact for far
less than the cost of the unit.  I've already set one of these up with just
such a drive and an extra PCI NIC.  works like a charm with OpenBSD 2.9 (I
would have upgraded it to 3.0 but it isn't my box and my friend moved out
of state).
