I don't get that comment. > Speaking about storage expansion, even HBA cards are dirt cheap, pricing on > enclosures with integrated SAS expander is just nuts.

Depends how much you paid for the server itself. ;-) But that's kind of irrelevant. Often, the storage *is* more expensive than the rest of the server. Depends on how much storage you're adding. There's a cost for the HBA, for the drive bay, and then a cost for the disks, multiplied by the number of disks. So the disks add up quickly. I'm a fan of Sans Digital products for the price. And I'm a fan of using the disks that they recommend. _______________________________________________ OpenIndiana-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss
