Dan you are correct is speed limits on USB 2

limited by USB port all i did was simply installed USB drive inside over external

i also recommend the Time capsule over the extreme

It is possible with the new Extreme to install a pair of USB drive and still be able to use the usb port for external devices

From my box of parts

Only for advanced user Mods

one laptop power supply removed the plastic case $10.00

one Buck unit to supply power to drives $3.50 12vx5v @ 5amp

one powered USB hub $4.50 4 port

Two WD USB portable drives 1T each used value $50.00

Lift the two center pins on USB port on the Extreme hard wire the two center pins of

Extreme USB to one of the USB ports of Hub not the primary

primary pins from hub back to the motherboard of extreme two center pins only

note the primary pins of hub normally be plugged into USB port now hard wired

to Extreme motherboard where USB pins were lifted

observe polarity of both center pins

when finished two hard drives 2.5 inside the extreme powered separately from the buck

lifting the two center pins on the usb port and routing back though the USB hub

allows for external devices to be attached to external USB port of the Extreme .

Not knowing of a software Raid that will work ?

Note unless you have extra parts it is not cost effective .and not recommended for average user

The power pac i used is rated at 3 amp.old 12v IBM was small enough Not knowing the power rated of Extreme USB port assuming rated for only one device.

doing any mod voids the warrant

The previous airport extreme is limited by space only one HD is possible by a small mod to heat sink for clearance.

Adding network storage is always welcome to home network.

Thank you Dan for the tactical input ,sad the extreme only has USB 2
