I'm already a part of the Startup Essentials program. Perhaps I should have been more clear, my apologies, I am not looking for 48 drives worth of storage. This is beyond our means to purchase at this point, regardless of the $/GB. I do agree, it is quite a good deal. I was talking about the huge gap in storage solutions from Sun for the middle-ground. While $24,000 is a wonderful deal, it's absolute overkill for what I'm thinking about doing. I was looking for more around 6-8 drives.
