We're putting in a SAN at work, starting at probably 8 TB and growing. I'm currently looking at a Coraid AoE (ATA-over-Ethernet) solution since it seems to have good support for FreeBSD and Windows drivers in the works. On the other hand, iSCSI has Windows support and FreeBSD in the works. Has anyone out there had experience with either iSCSI or Coraid/AoE on FreeBSD for a SAN? I'd like to know what NICs/HBAs and stuff works well and what doesn't, if anyone has experience with it. Thanks, Josh
