Starting with about four, expandable to ten or higher. I've seen SuperMicro SATA boxes which take 12 hotplug SATA drives in 2U, twice that with 2.5" drives. Right now WD consumer TByte drives go for 80 EUR, RE3 for 130. I expect hardware is around 500-600 EUR. > > OpenSolaris 2008.11 I'll reserve that as an option of last resort, in case FreeNAS doesn't deliver. I know Sun, and I'm wary of their promises. > That is, if you don't actually want go with one of SUN's new appliances. About one order of magnitude more expensive than what I need. 2 kEUR/box is well within the budget, 20 kEUR isn't. > What financial value do these 10TB represent? It's a mix of personal and corporate data for a couple people. 2-3 redundant (loosely synched via unison over WAN), in case a box or location dies. Access via VPN (OpenVPN, probably). I should probably terminate the VPN tunnel on the pfSense, and put the end point and the FreeNAS on a private VLAN. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected] Commercial support available - https://portal.pfsense.org
