If there is one it is internal and there is no port designed into the enclosure to get to it.  It does have various memorycard slots. Theoretically if you are using the NAND flash for the filesystem you shouldn't need RAID unless you mean for just storage expansion+speed purposes.

I was looking at these and have a question... does this model have a sata II connecter?  the block diagrams seem to say it does, so I am thinking you could interface a faster HD interface (raid???)

I received my SheevaPlug computer on Friday. Here are some pics of what
I got: http://www.the-ownage.com/?p=830
I have noticed that there are several other companies now using this
exact same model, and basically re-selling them as fancy NAS devices.
Here is some more info on that:

products is near the bottom).

I havn't really gotten a chance to put it through its paces yet, as I
have been slowed down by trying to compile the uvcvideo module so that I
can plug in a usb 2.0 web cam for testing some video-security
applications I am working on.

Since I'm ssh'd into it now, I will just cut and paste some stuff:
