The hardware definitely looks good on paper, and the price point
starts around the level of the current crop of Adaptecs. As I told
Mark at DPT, FreeBSD already has the software muscle to be the top
contender as an NFS server, now it needs some equally potent hardware
to back it up. 42 of those new 23GB Seagate drives per controller,
four controllers per machine == 3TB of *usable* filesystem space (hi,
Satoshi!). :)
