A barebones and lot of 73 gb drives might be cheaper yet. Rather than adding a loop I would like a compact rack. P2P and 10g Ethernet isn't as attractive. A storage 2006-2010 age, ready to connect to my flextronics is what I am looking for. At that price I had to give it thought. I have two PE2950's so a PowerVault seems like the obvious answer. Shipping is just so high with the vendors right now. The topspins are pcie 8x, a lot of five was a steal. Cables seen to have a minimum price...generally each cable's is both in And out? Maybe that is fibre again. And about the dental probe: I live in Mexico. Almost everything is for sale. You are a big help, thanks again. Jonathan Engwall
