150 of'em!?!?!!! Yikes... And I thought that 1TB (for now) for
PeeCee-fileserving was bad enough for our customer. =)
I know Compaq has some joint-venture with IBM for a large-scale
mainframe-capable storage called CSS2105. Typical 11.2 TB max capability
and (now) upto 32 GB cache. I don't even want to know the pricetag on
that thing.
