Does anybody have good or bad experiences with SAN disks?
Yea, make sure that your "high end" SAN doesn't end up storing your
files on one physical disk :P
In short, a SAN can be fiendishly difficult to setup properly,
specially if it has to be shared among different applications with
different needs and wants. Too much of a good thing in general. Not
worth the price, the complexity, nor the pain.
A decent alternative to a SAN would be something like a couple of
dedicated Sun Thor (aka Sun Fire X4540 Server):

This gives you 48 disks to transparently spread you load across in a
rather compact, simple package. Very handy for IO intensive systems.
As always, YMMV.
