If you want something from a Tier1 the new Dell R720XD's will take 24x 900GB SAS disks and have 16 cores. If you order it with a SAS6-HBA you can add up to 8 trays of 24 x 900GB SAS disks to provide 194TB of raw space at quite a reasonable cost. Alternatively, you could have a couple of "pr

I think the simple test for this problem is to take a non-ECC machine, boot from a CD/USB Key/etc with memtest or memtest86+ on it, and see if you get errors over the course of a few days. Getting errors will certainly prove that this problem exists (or that you have bad ram).
