Currently, I have a couple of Multipacks with six, 9GB drives and one with 12 2.1GB drives that I was going to use to create my file systems. We'd like to use a mix of RAID V and mirroring, and I'm not really sure if Multipacks are the way to go. First of all, with the 9GB Multipacks, there aren't a lot of spindles to create these RAID and mirrored file systems. Second, it's not very scalable. I was wondering what kinds of enterprise storage solutions you all were using, and what you thought of them.
Cost is, of course, an issue.
