I saw it for 1800=E2=82=AC somewhere.
FusionIO is 10k for 320G.=20

But I've never seen FusionIO used in a Fileserver - probably doesn't
make sense, price-wise.

IIRC, the OP wanted to build a 16T fileserver. So he will have to spend
some cash anyway.  I think it's a safe assumption that Nexenta and its
partners have spent quite some time evaluating the various options.
