 Starting with about four, expandable to ten or higher. I've
 seen SuperMicro SATA boxes which take 12 hotplug SATA drives
 in 2U, twice that with 2.5 drives.
 
 Right now WD consumer TByte drives go for 80 EUR, RE3 for 130.
 I expect hardware is around 500-600 EUR.
  
  OpenSolaris 2008.11
 
 I'll reserve that as an option of last resort, in case FreeNAS
 doesn't deliver. I know Sun, and I'm wary of their promises.

We use a 5TB array (with 12 slots open) with Solaris (Nevada 104) and
ZFS for our primary backup server.  Works beautifully.

This is something I've been thinking about quite a bit lately.  I'd like
to see something modular that could potentially be used on any PF-based
system.  If there are others interested in this (or already working on
it), please contact me.

[pfSense-discussion] DCBSDCon 2009 Registration is Open!

2008-12-19 Thread Jason Dixon
We are proud to announce the opening of registration for DCBSDCon 2009!

DCBSDCon 2009 will be held February 5th and 6th at the Marriott Wardman
in Washington, DC.  This is the inaugural event, but we already have an
awesome lineup of speakers and events.  If you haven't already, check
out the details at http://www.dcbsdcon.org/.

For those registering before February 5, registration is only $75.
Registration at the day of the event (if there are any slots left) will
increase to $125.

Many of you are also following along as we reveal our speakers.  Every
Monday and Thursday, from now through January, we're releasing details 
on a new speaker.  Just yesterday we announced our 3rd speaker, Chris 
Buechler of the pfSense project.  It's like Christmas or Hannukkah, 
without the mess!  Subscribe to our feed at http://blog.dcbsdcon.org/.

Register online:

Hope to see you there!
