i really don't believe that they trying to sell ONLY SATA storage server. its even not scalable enough... omg 1 srv 2 FC switch and 1 storage will own this box of disks.
and pls tell me what is "raid z" cant u manage to maintain any regular raid lvls like 0,1,2,3,5,10 etc.
the overheating prob is smth we should think about in this case...
and what about redundancy -2 power supplies are taking care of 40 disks and a server. guys...
Are there any ppl who actually buying this stuff?
This system is clearly meant for people who care more about storage density than anything else. In that case, 48 disks in 4U of space can't be beat.
It DOES support regular RAID levels, 0, 1, 0+1, 5, 6 to be precise. It also supports RAIDZ and RAIDZ2, which (from a reliability and flexibility standpoint) is a far superior solution to any of those (per-block checksums, for example). Overheating is evidently also NOT a problem.
Performance isn't the intent; capacity is. At that, it's the best.
Have you ever heard of thermal asperity for HDDs. The only thing that can end this debate is physics. Can you provide the heat dissipation for this system? it is really just a math...
Did you even listen to him on the video? He describes the cooling performance. You think a company like Sun would ship a box like this without testing it first? (Do you think they'd even *build* it if they hadn't done the maths?)
As someone upthread mentioned, there are many people out there using these boxes in the real world, and they are not seeing the problems you describe.
nice

I love Sun.
If I had a company I would archive ungodly amounts of data and hire more employees just so I could buy more Sun stuff :)
