Thanks.

Hi,
We have not actively done so since, as today there are many solutions from many companies/manufacturers.
I suggest googling and you will find several.
I would not recommend purchasing anything from cubix though, we've heard too much horror stories from customers already...

Well, I cross my fingers ! So far, I'm happy of my Cubix box, and I have had good contacts with Cubix (And as some may have noticed, I am not known to be very lucky!) The only critic I would make is about the airflow inside the box, because one card is always 5-7°C over the other one. Some room between cards would actually make it perfect imho.
I hope the device will work for a long time, because my unique fear is to have to send it back one day in USA to be repaired:
If I believe the information got from French customs, I would have to pay the VAT again when the machine would come back in France, as well as the VAT on any cost of repair, even if I have paid in advance for four years of maintenance !
French laws are crazy ! We have to pay for things we have already paid...
