If DIY NAS is your thing, Backblaze has version 3.0 of their hardware build available
http://blog.backblaze.com/2013/02/20/180tb-of-good-vibrations-storage-pod-3-0 Summary: 180T in a 4U system. 45 4T drives 1 or 2 small drives for redundant boot and volumes cost reduction (other than bulk 4T drives) There were several design changes, partly due to technology updates and vendor changes. The section on 'what we have learned' is redundant from our knowledge of beating our heads against the walls for a number of years, but it is nice to see the lessons have not gone to waste, and are still relvaent. They also reduced the price (sans big drives) of the base system/chassis by 1.9%. Not much but anything helps when working on this kind of stuff. Still a good read. ><> ...
