Pahh, only 24 drives. Once I rescued a DEC Storage Works RAID array.
A "low boy" rack, front _and_ back filled with those noisy Cheetahs and
SCSI to DSSI HW-RAID controlers. I can't remember the exact count of
drives. I think it was in excess of 60 or so. (The array was connected
to two clustered Alphas running VMS.)

I still use one of those drives - as a doorstop. :-)
