You might want to check out the Arena Industrial II Rackmount RAID system
from "www.raidweb.com". It has 8 x UDMA controllers that connect to the
host via Ultra2 SCSI (platform independant). Buy two (or more) of those
and 16 x (60/80 gb Maxtor UMDA Drives or 75 gb IBM UMDA Drives).
2 x Arena Industrial II Rackmount RAID $3,975
16 x Maxtor UDMA 60 gb Hard Drives $3,680
Total Cost $7,655
That comes out to about $7.98 / gb...
