What does that have to do with anything? If you need a 2U machine get
one, but not everyone needs redundant power supplies. The question was
not is 2U better or worse than 1U, it was can you fit more than 3 drives
in a 1U machine. And just so you know, you can get redundant power
supplies for 1U machines if you desperately need to.
