I can't say enough bad things about Rackable. The company I currently
work for is in the process of RMAing 18 of their 3U storage servers.
This only after going around and around with them for 6 months trying to
hammer out an agreement. We incurred a large amount of data loss due to faulty
drive firmware, faulty chassis design, and faulty RAID card firmware. We were able
to recover some data thanks to On Track, but, some of the data was just
gone forever.
