I am always amazed that people consider thumper to be reasonable in
price. 450% or more markup per drive from street price in July 2006
numbers doesn't seem reasonable to me, even after subtracting the cost
of the system. I like the x4500, I wish I had one. But, I can't pay
what Sun wants for it. So, instead, I am stuck buying lower end Sun
systems and buying third party SCSI/SATA JBODs.
But what data throughput do you get? Thumper is phenomenal.
It is ashame (for the consumer) that it's not available without drives.
Sun has always had an obscene markup on drives.
