I did some checking and calculated the costs, and figured out that if I want to have a decent 12TB solution NAS box, it would be best if I would roll my own. (12 TB before all the RAID stuff, after that it would lot less). All other solutions are very expensive (example: IBM EXP 3000 costs here 6K nis without a single hard disk).<br>

</div>How about looking at openfiler (<a href="http://www.openfiler.com/" target="_blank">http://www.openfiler.com/</a>), consider<br>
whether you want to use it for that solution and see what kind of<br>
hardware they recommend?<br>
<br>
I have never used it but considered it before and as far as I remember<br>
it's an integration of SAN management interface on top of CentOS.<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
