Hrm, Are you very price sensitive? I just bought a DL320s for ~$2800.00 CAN and have been using Enterprise iSCSI Target under CentOS for a while under Windows Server's and ESX servers with very good uptime (Perfect actually). I also use it for D2D backups as well and I just ebayed the trays and use standard drives (super cheap) with good redundancy...
You might consider that... jlc ________________________________ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, April 17, 2008 10:56 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: HP AiO 1200 storage system We're a Dell house but I've recently been looking to increase my storage capacity and HP has some attractive pricing. Has anyone used the AiO 1200 with SATA drives? Intend to use if for @ 500 GB of file sharing to 120 users and some very light application serving along with disk to disk backup and file archiving. Interested also in recent HP support experiences. Dell has provided me with very good support over the years and I'd prefer not to shoot myself in the foot. Any input, comments or flaming appreciated. Steve ~ Upgrade to Next Generation Antispam/Antivirus with Ninja! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbelt-software.com/SunbeltMessagingNinja.cfm> ~
