Having more that 2 drives is nice with shadowing because you can pop one out of the shadow set and still have redundancy.)

Yes, the AlphaServer 800 that I have has the disk cage for 4 drives, and 
I thought it was rather nice.  But the DS20 I have has an older storage 
works cage and the earlier disks in caddys.
