I can beat than - I have a 20MB 'Winchester' HDD inside a working original Compaq Deskpro 8086 from c 1985. Fired her up last week for some photos, still works a treat. (No TSM client for it though...)

Could you share some of the particulars such as what storage device is providing the LUN, what server OS is using the LUN and what the general reason was for choosing the LUN? Historical note - My first hard disk in my home PC was 20GB Thank you, Neil Strand Storage Engineer - Legg Mason Baltimore, MD. (410) 580-7491 Whatever you can do or believe you can, begin it.

Sent: Wednesday, May 26, 2010 7:04 PM To: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU Subject: [ADSM-L] why create a 12TB LUN I'm guessing many of you will find this quite odd, I know I did, but I had someone come to me and say they were going to ask for a 12TB LUN and wanted to back it up. Without even mentioning the product they want to use, obviously not TSM though, and I'm not even sure it would make difference, how would you manage to get a 12TB LUN backed up daily. I would expect it to be at least 75% full if not more, and even without knowing what percentage of data changes on it, it would seem to me the request seems strange. They're thinking of getting a VTL and backing up through fiber direct, not across the network, but no idea which one or what sort of throughput to expect. Have any of you been approached with this sort of request and if so what was your response? I'm sort of dumbfounded at this point since I've not heard or seen this anywhere.
