Went to an Equallogic/VMWare DR luncheon yesterday. We (management) have issues with buying from Dell, but that SAN was sweet. They will be debuting a 48 drive 5U SAN very soon. I could not find the specs online, but the guy said they were full 3.5" drives (SAS or SATA), but I find it hard to believe that many would fit in a 5U box.
