What's your budget? I just got a ML350 G5 for someone at home and bought bare caddies to use off the shelf SATA drives. Was like 2000.00 CAN for a crazy setup... that might be overkill but it is as close to an enterprise setup as you get for a mere 2k.
Load Solaris 10 and do all that fancy jazz with ZFS. You could also do it with Linux and LVM. jlc -----Original Message----- From: Matthew W.

They seem to be extremely powerful, including live disk drive expansion on some of their models (although not nearly as slick as the Drobo solution). I'm thinking of buying one for home. --Matt Ross Ephrata School District ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~
