I have seen a large drive setup from HP called HP StorageWorks 600 Modular Disk System
Info includes 5U rackmount form factor Supports seventy 3.5" LFF Universal hot pluggable SAS or SATA drives Two pull-out drive drawers support hot plug large form factor dual-ported SAS or archival-class SATA drives in just 5U of rack space (35 hot plug drives per drawer) -----Original Message----- From: beowulf-boun...@beowulf.org [mailto:beowulf-boun...@beowulf.org] On Behalf Of Joe Landman Sent: Thursday, February 04, 2010 4:30 PM To: Michael Di Domenico Cc: Beowulf Mailing List Subject: Re: [Beowulf] 48/96 disk jbods?

If the latter, you can use our delta V units as this: http://www.scalableinformatics.com/delta-v . JBOD over iSCSI or similar. We software RAID them by default, though there is no reason we couldn't have many iSCSI targets over 10GbE/IB/ethernet. You don't see it there, but there is a DV5 ... 48 bay top load. The unit you pointed to has the unfortunate problem of requiring you take two devices out to get at one failed drive. -- Joseph Landman, Ph.D Founder and CEO Scalable Informatics Inc. email: land...@scalableinformatics.com web : http://scalableinformatics.com http://scalableinformatics.com/jackrabbit phone: +1 734 786 8423 x121 fax : +1 866 888 3112 cell : +1 734 612 4615 _______________________________________________ Beowulf mailing list, Beowulf@beowulf.org sponsored by Penguin Computing To change your subscription (digest mode or unsubscribe) visit http://www.beowulf.org/mailman/listinfo/beowulf _______________________________________________ Beowulf mailing list, Beowulf@beowulf.org sponsored by Penguin Computing To change your subscription (digest mode or unsubscribe) visit http://www.beowulf.org/mailman/listinfo/beowulf
