I should add that NetApp also uses the DEC StorageWorks shelves
and canisters for their 2GB and 4GB configurations, and if it's good
enough for them, it's good enough for me. ;-) Mounting drives
inside the canisters is a little tricky at first, but you get the hang
of it pretty quickly. The ones we have are plastic, so I imagine the
heat dissipation isn't the best. Netapp went with a Eurologics
product (metal extruded cases) for their 9GB shelves.
