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.

Subject: QNAP - Alternative to Drobo?

Anybody on this list have any experience with the QNAP NAS boxes? 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.
