We have a $10k budget, so I don't think we can afford any "appliance" solution, unless someone knows otherwise. For $10k it looks like we can get: 2x4core 2.4 GHz Intel Nehalems 3U 16 bay chassis w/ SAS2 extender for expansion storage shelves 24 GB RAM 4 TB RAID10 storage + hot swap (SATA 6 GB/s, 10k RPM drives) 1.2 TB RAID10 storage + hot swap (SAS2 6 GB/s, 15k RPM drives) 2 port TOE Intel GigE NIC Adaptec MaxIQ SAS2 RAID controller with 64 GB SSD read cache and BBU 600 GB SATA 10k RPM system drive Ian
