[Bruce Little] "I have put together an ethernet based SAN already for another post house that cost about
20k that works just fine, but wondering if there are any better solutions available for this price."
Give us a call at Small Tree. We can do an awful lot for $20k. You need to tell us the codecs, storage space requirements and we can design something for you.
In general, with 3Gb SATA and Gb, our stuff runs $500-1000 per TB. I think that's pretty good compared to most of the ethernet based vendors out there. Plus we know what all the sysctl parameters do since we worked with BSD unix kernels at SGI.
