Dell has the MD1120 which is a 24 bay 2.5" SAS/SATA enclosure. I think it goes for $3000 plus cost of disk drives. If you want to go cheaper I believe Supermicro makes a 16 drive chassis that is meant for a server, but can be made into an external enclosure, or an iSCSI/NFS/CIFS storage server. -Ross _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
