We want to setup a cheap storage farm so I was asking what is people's opinions on the the controller and the disks :-)
Cor, looks like it is not just me having to think of a storage farm. Over here, some downtime (an hour...) is okay so I have been looking at moving things to a replicated storage farm on elcheapo hardware and zero-cost operating systems patched together with GlusterFS.

I was wondering if anyone here has experience with HP MSA60 with P400 and P800 controller. How reliable are they for a 24x7 shop?
well, its not 5-nines stuff, there's all kinda single points of failure. you want 0.99999 kinda reliability, you need a fully redundant system with multipath, at every stage, like a fiberchannel SAN with dual HBA's on each system, dual switches, dual controllers on each storage array, etc, all components hotswappable, etc. of course, this all comes at siginficant expense, both in complexity and cost.
