I guess I'm spoiled then cause I use SAN's. NAS or DAS would work too. I haven't tried to stuff disks into a chassis in a long time. 4TB RAW with dual controllers, each with 1GB cache, 2GB FC SAN connection = $12K, so I do not see why you would even try.
12K and you don't see why I don't try? Must be nice not to have to watch the budget. My clients tend toward small manufacturing companies. If I spent that kind of money on 1 server, I wouldn't have many clients. The last time I rebuilt a whole LAN (changing all 40+ systems from 10base2 to 100baseT, cables & switches and 2 new servers) I didn't spend that much. My people hire me because they can't afford to keep I.T. staff on the payroll - they sure don't have 12K to throw around on that kind of thing.
