i can't see how that math works. by the time i fully populate a J4200 (12TB), Sun charges in the $10k neighborhood. i can do this using Promise or Xtore or whatever for $3k. > Last year I've bought an Infortrend RAID array with custom disks but today > I would choose a J4400 + 24 TB again, the Sun enclosure is about the same price as any other enclosure, but the Sun drives make 24TB cost ... well the Sun store is down right now, but I'll estimate $30k or just to be generous let's use their advertised figure of $1/GB, so $24k. An Xtore with 24TB runs $11k. -frank _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
