OK, I must have ass-u-me-d something when it came out -- they were touting "48 drives in 5U!!", right at the same time that a commodity chassis with 48 drives in 5U (and room for a mobo, it wasn't the external RAID chassis that you're referring to) came out. Looking at an image of Thumper, it's the descendant of the first Sun external RAID system, which I had the misfortune to eval in 1996. The hard part in a 48-disk system is the software, not the hardware. -- greg _______________________________________________ Beowulf mailing list, Beowulf@beowulf.org To change your subscription (digest mode or unsubscribe) visit http://www.beowulf.org/mailman/listinfo/beowulf
