I'll use 8 drives if I want to use what I already have on a dysfunctional zfs server 2@500 (ide [pata] 2@500sataII 2@750sata) I expected to buy a pair of 1TB drives. I've been running in a mirrored setup so need 2X whatever drives I use. I could buy bigger disks but of course, that would mean letting 6drives I already have just set around. If I bought 4 2tb drives I'd have about the same capacity but it would cost around $400 (or is it cheaper for 4 2tb drivs?) One tempting thing about the Proliant Microserver N36L, It can be gotten damned cheap.... if this is the one you mean: http://www.cdw.com/shop/products/default.aspx?edc=2190307#TS _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
