Just FYI, it's somewhat of a tossup on large large arrays with 3.5" and 2.5" models. Equivalent 3.5" units hold 36-48 HDDs, and drive sizes for enterprise SAS drives are 3 TB in 3.5" vs 1 TB in 2.5" now, so you get more per box with 3.5" drives. Also a lot cheaper in the end. About six months ago I purchased two similar boxes for nearline backups purposes (lower bandwidth) with 3.5" drives; 34 x 3 TB plus a couple of much faster 2.5" 15k boot drives, post-RAID-10-and-hotspare-and-filesystem usable space was about 42 TB. About $22k each. One can go somewhat cheaper than that but the VAR had a good support story and "just fixed it" the next day when a RAID card model didn't quite work out. -- -george william herbert george.herbert () gmail com
