We are also looking at storage here , but the biggest question is what are you putting on it and how big amount of data are you looking at?

Being new to decent SANs (we have some crappy iscsi hardware that we just use for dumping scrap data on) what are peoples thoughts of iSCSI SANs vs FibreChannel SANs? We are planning on having two physical hosts (probably Dell PE710s running either Hyper-V or ESXi) with a lump of shared storage on a SAN but we are at odds here as to whether we should go iSCSI or FC.
