I recently got some quotes on some HP DL servers, the HP p410 w/ 1GB
flash-backed cache (no batteries to replace ever) PN 572532-B21 was MSRP
$750 before any corporate discounts. this is a 8 channel 6gbps SAS
controller (2 internal 4-channel connectors)
my configuration also came to about $6K/box but that was a mighty
powerful box (25 2.5" SAS bays, 12 core 2.8Ghz 48GB ram, and said raid
controller)
