Well, he did say fairly cheap. the ST 3511 is about $18.5k. That's
about the same price for the low-end NetApp FAS250 unit.
Note that the 3511 is being replaced with the 6140:

Also, don't read too much into the prices you see on the website --
that's
the list price, and doesn't reflect any discounting. If you're
interested
in what it _actually_ costs, you should talk to a Sun rep or one of our
channel partners to get a quote. (And lest anyone attack the
messenger:
I'm not defending this system of getting an accurate price, I'm just
describing it.)
If your company can qualify as a start-up (4 year old or less with less
than 150 employees) you may want to look at the Sun Startup essentials
program. It provides Sun hardware at big discounts for startups.
