My biggest problem is the amount of jerk-off sellers. 
 
We asked for 
i) a san
ii) some direct-attatched external storage
 
The amount of vendors who took those comments on board, asked what we wanted them for, 
and then promptly quoted for a NAS device was quite depressing. Idiots.

        I'll kindly ask you to get off of my soapbox.
        
        My favorite one I've heard lately: "Well, it uses fiber to attach to the SAN
        so it's much faster for Exchange."

        As long as you don't buy into the great white lie of SAN's, you're golden.
        
        That lie is that there's no performance hit created by taking a single large
        array and carving it into a bunch of LUNs - there's a physics issue there.
        Other than that, its just a bunch of disks, just like the SCSI attached ones
        you probably have now.
