My work (yes, Im now employed) is looking at deploying servers to

Our hardware needs:
between 2TB and 8TB of storage in a RAID configuration
1U or 2U case

Sounds like you need a SunFire X4500, except they're 4U. I'm not sure
you can get 8 TB into 2U with today's hardware; you'd need at least 16
data disks, plus parity and spares, say 20 altogether. The most I've
ever seen in a 2U case is 8.
I'm partial to our solutions. Here's a 2U with 12 bays that takes 750GB
SATA:
