- 32TB for $450,000???
-
You can buy off-the-shelf IEEE1394 drives for $1GB at 250GB/drive. That makes 32TB $32,000 (128 drives). Add some redundancy (RAID-5 and spares; 192 drives) and you are in the $48,000 range. Performance is in the 40MB/sec/channel range; configured as sixteen independant IEEE1394 channels (about $2000), that gives you an aggregate throughput of 640MB/sec. Uncompressed, direct access, in one to two racks.
Did someone slip a decimal point? If not, how are they justifying this price? - Posted by: Mace Moneta Posted on: 04/04/04 You are currently: a Guest | Members login | Terms of Use
