You could get a 16-port 3ware controller and hang a bunch of 2TB drives off of it. Even with fairly decent redundancy you should be able to get at least 16TB of usable storage out of it. It might not have the greatest performance though (which gets back to this box's intended purpose). A colleague recently bought an 8-port box similar to the above for just about $5k US, with just under 12TB usable. --keith -- kkeller at speakeasy.net -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
