The cost of the chassis component[1] is likely to influence totals a fair
bit. I notice that in their reference design there are only two 10Gb ports
for 60 drives -- this would be the cheap bulk storage option, if you had a
bandwidth-conscious application you'd be looking at more expensive 10Gb

- Commercial grid-style SAN is maybe £1.70 per usable GB
- Ceph cluster of about 1PB built on Dell hardware is maybe £1.25 per
usable GB
- Bare drives like WD RE4 3TB are about £0.21/GB (assuming 1/3rd

believe there was some discussion at one point about using Ceph
together with their offering, but if I remember correctly Seagate
wanted to remove RADOS and just use Ceph clients, which didn't make a
lot of sense to us.
