Heard this a few times now, in the interest of getting something better next time, what have you found equally reliable but faster?
Nothing as cheap as a full dl185 that's for sure unless you count SUNs thor (thumper ng) machines but then you'll have to do the raid part in software somehow.
Yeah, but that is as easy as zpool create tank raidz2 dev1 dev2 dev3 dev4 dev5 dev6 etc. zfs create tank/bigdisk
But I'd go one step further and use one of SUNs OpenStorage devices. Once you have a lot of no-name JBOD SATA-drives, the inability of Solaris to light-up the yellow light of the broken one will make it painfully obvious that while one can spend to much on storage, one can as easily spend too little... ;-)
Uhm.. Solaris/zfs can't really light-up the failure lights on Sun's own hardware?
