Shook -----Original Message----- From: Kurt Buff [mailto:kurt.b...@gmail.com] Sent: Monday, August 30, 2010 3:50 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Re: SAN Storage I'm looking to add in a LH unit to the two that we already have. The newer software (8.0) supports a kind of network RAID. My LHs are pretty small (4tb raw) and replicate to each other, so I only have the 4tb minus the formatting (roughly 3.7tb). The ability to add in a unit of the same size, keep using two-way replication across three units and basically double my storage, is pretty appealing, along with the probable gain in throughput from the extra unit on the wire. Plus, relatively speaking the original units were pretty cheap. I'm getting pricing from CDW and a couple of local firms in the next few days, so I don't have a good guess on current pricing, but I'll bet it's still cheaper than the bigger players, in spite of the fact that HP bought LH a year or two ago.
