Penny-wise == Pound-foolish? That looks to be true, yes (going back to the actual prices, 150 drives would cost $6000 extra for the enterprise versions). It's still quite annoying to be jerked around by people charging 60% extra for changing a timeout in the firmware, and carefully making it NOT user-alterable. Also, the non-TLER versions are a constant threat to anybody running home systems, who might quite reasonably think they could put those in a home server. (Yeah, I know the enterprise versions have other differences. I'm not nearly so sure I CARE about the other differences, in the size servers I'm working with.) -- David Dyer-Bennet, d...@dd-b.net; http://dd-b.net/ Snapshots: http://dd-b.net/dd-b/SnapshotAlbum/data/ Photos: http://dd-b.net/photography/gallery/ Dragaera: http://dragaera.info _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
