I was recently at a large computer retailer and 1TB drives were not available for purchase. 2TB 3.5" for $110 and 500GB 2.5" drives were available. As David notes, if you plan to expand, plan to expand by replacing drives or adding pairs. This will be very cost efficient when your data space needs are modest. -- richard -- Richard Elling rich...@nexenta.com +1-760-896-4422 _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
