also, afaikt, you can put together your own AoE servers without any
CoRAID parts. I wonder if anyone has done that (thinking of it mostly
as a way to test the water without spending money...)
I'm curious to know people's experience as well. Currently I build our
own NFS servers based on a 4U 24-disk SATA chassis. I can buy one with
a Dual Opteron 246 HE and 4GB RAM for slightly more (10%) than CoRAID's
15 disk chassis. We don't need block level access, but I imagine I
could export with AoE or iSCSI if needed. I'm wondering if there is an
advantage to the CoRAID stuff that I'm not seeing...
