Hello.  Wondering if anyone has any opinions on a RAID to buy -- or
avoid.  We're thinking about getting a RAID in the 8-16 TB range for
backup staging: backup to disk, copy to tape, leave the disk copy
around for a while.  No need for snapshots or other fancy features,
just capacity, speed, reliability, and ease of management are primary
considerations; direct attached to a *nix server.

Just satisfied with your RAID?  Love it?  Hate it?

Thanks.

Dan
