There are a lot of options for data storage. In my mind, ideal solution is EMC Clarion (i really like it:)) or some other specialized hardware & soft. For self-build soft I would look at FreeBSD or some specialized solution like FreeBSD-based FreeNAS (http://freenas.org/) or OpenSolaris-based Nexenta (http://nexenta.org/). OpenSolaris is great, but you will have to buy support contract for it. (I don't think that /dev or absolutely frozen /release on my storage server is a good idea).
