The sas enclosures can be daisy chained for up to 8 enclosures (might be more), so could have 192tB of storage w/4tB disks.
BTW, I've been using Seagate 10-TB disks and they've been quite reliable and fast. They don't do the shingled recording thing either.
Lew, The only 10TB I have bought were shingled and from time to time very slow. is it the helium-filled you're buying? Also, do you have thoughts of SAS v SATA for a busy fileserver? ie. We are looking at running 11,000 tapes worth of session scans on to this fileserver in the first 45 days of use. That's about 30 tape drives spinning 24 hours a day and seeking from one filemark to the next at highspeed to get the session data. Then building a pretty good size database describing the sessions. We expect just the session DB to be about 2 TB. Lots of other activity will also be hitting this same NAS from other projects. We process tapes for our clients, and often in very large scales. That 11,000 tapes is for a single project. Greg -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
