They build systems like you're interested in. Alternatively, take a look at the Dell PowerEdge 2450 coupled with a pair of Ultra160 PowerVault 211S arrays. That should get you just under 1 TB for ~$40K US.

RAID/Filesystem recommendations ? Hi, i've been perusing the freebsd web site and just went through the hardware listing/relnotes for 4.1. i haven't quite been able to find the answers to these questions.. o Is 4.1 stable/reliable enough to be put into production? o Is there a recommended fibrechannel card for FreeBSD 4.1 ? o What's the fibrechannel support like compared to Ultra2/LVD and/or Ultra160 support ? o Is there a recommended Gigabit card and support for it ? o For "largish" filesystems of between 100G and 1T, what's the recommended setup ? Is Softupdates viable for this in 4.1 ? regards, -jason To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
