these were the full 7' racks.  each shelf holds, what, 7 drives? something like
that? all 36G drives.  well, the NEW NetApp shelves use low profile drives so
you can get like 14 74GB drives in a shelf.  so, double the drive size, and
double the number of drives per shelf, and you get 8TB per rack.  still not on
par with a cabinet of 180GB drives, but once they start using those things?
look out.

cheers,
