I asked my local university's unix-admins group about this product and got a couple positive responses. I also heard good things from one person on the ZFS list at Sun. Did not hear anything bad, although I have heard bad things about Promise's Fibre Channel SAN gear (LUNs disappearing, RAIDsets going offline while rebuilding after a drive failure, etc). On the plus side, the person with the Promise SAN did say that Promise's support was always pretty responsive. Like others who replied to the list, I have had very good experience with Infortrend RAIDs but as discussed they do not make a plain JBOD. For those of you in higher education, watch to see if Oracle reprise the for the Sun Edu Grant program this Summer; they often have had extremely aggressive pricing on JBODs. danno -- Dan Pritts, Sr. Systems Engineer Internet2 office: +1-734-352-4953 | mobile: +1-734-834-7224 Internet2 Spring Member Meeting April 26-28, 2010 - Arlington, Virginia http://events.internet2.edu/2010/spring-mm/ _______________________________________________ Linux-PowerEdge mailing list [email protected] https://lists.us.dell.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-poweredge Please read the FAQ at http://lists.us.dell.com/faq
