This is not directly related to CentOS but still: we are trying to set
up some storage servers to run under Linux - most likely CentOS. The storage volume would be in the range specified: 8-15 TB. Any recommendations as far as hardware?
Depends on your budget. Here, we use HP DL180 servers (12 x 1TB disks in 2U)... You can also check Sun Fire X**** servers; up to 48 x 1TB in 4U...
Somebody said something about Sun servers being pricey and that quality was going downhill...something about cheap controllers...any comments on this?
We have a bunch of X4540 Netbackup media servers running Solaris 10 + ZFS. While I can't comment on all of the controllers Sun uses, the SATA chipset / controllers in the 4540 seem to be pretty solid so far (our backup servers process 20TB+ of data each day).

Thanks Ryan!
What price range (roughly) are we talking here?
