Maybe the serial cable allows you serial console on the RAID device so
that you can do configuration and stuff. THe program you should look to
use in linux is called "minicom".

Rob makes an excellent point about RAID 5 ... I know you said it couldnt
do it ... but RAID 0 is gonna hurt ... if a single disk dies you loose
the whole thing right?

This means backups (not to implie that RAID 5 doesn't mean backups)...
where are you going to backup 1.25TB?

I am glad you didn't have the 1TB limit sorry to worry you needlessly.
