Hi,

We have been using Nexsan's "SATABeast" product recently. We purchased 40 of them with 42 500GB drives with one dual-port Fibre controller. We connect each SATABeast to two nodes. Those two nodes then have two channel-bonded GigE interfaces. We have been able to fully saturate the 2 GigE links out from both nodes simultaneously from the one SATABeast. I'm sorry I do not have more formal numbers/graphs for you but I can say we have had good experiences with them.

Thanks,
Gary

I'm looking to get a few TB of SATA-SCSI storage, and I'm wondering what
vendors folks like for this sort of thing. I know all about the tradeoffs of external RAID vs. internal arrays -- this is something that needs to be as plug-and-play as possible.

Some groups here like Excel Meridian's products (which do look rather nice). Any other vendors with good products and support?

Thanks.
