OK, thanks for responding. I figured if anyone knew definitively, it
would be you :) I will just use the 3124 for now.  It has been pretty
reliably for me to make these large storage appliances.

Other than the 3124, do you recommend anything else ? I want to put
together another 20TB storage appliance.  Faster is nicer, but cost is a
constraining factor.
