We could do this using about 44 of the not-yet-announced TSR-3100 fibre channel RAID storage systems. These are 1.8TB (1.62TB usable) capacity units in a 3U cabinet. It would take around 200A @ 120VAC (about 18KW) to power all of them and should fit in about 5 rack cabinets. Total cost would be about $3 million. -DG David Greenman Co-founder, The FreeBSD Project - http://www.freebsd.org President, TeraSolutions, Inc. - http://www.terasolutions.com Pave the road of life with opportunities.
