Dunno about FC or iSCSI, but what I'd really like to see is a 1U direct
attach 8-drive SAS JBOD, as described (back in May 2006!) here:

Modulo the UltraSCSI 320 stuff perhaps.
Given that other vendors have released something similar, and how strong
Sun's entry-level server offerings are, I can't believe that Sun hasn't
annouced something like this, to bring their entry-level storage offerings
up to the bar set by their servers...
