Are there any servers at the planet with disk space in the multi-terabyte range?
Thanks Sam |

Haha, what kind of porn collection can sit on a 24TB Sun Fire X4500 (17TB actually usable in the zpool). And we have 4 of them!

I don't know if they currently offer it but there may be some NFS space you could rent. The easiest way to get the space will be to email sales and see what they can get setup. Off hand you can probably get 6*750Gb in RAID5 for around 3.5TB of space, depending on your exact needs. -------------------- John W My personal website with many free security and linux how-to's!

Might want to contact sales, we have many solutions that could probably fit your needs, one of which is mentioned above. Here is a page where we describe one of our higher end Storage Solutions (the devices fit up to 84TB)

Actually, there are a couple of options. The Clovertowns are doing 1-3TB worth of space, depending on the RAID level you use with the 8 drives it offers and then, as James indicated, we now have storage solutions that utilize dedicated SANs to handle from 7TB to 84TB raw space.
This is not to mention our NAS and DiskSync products that we also offer, if you do not want a dedicated server, but require off server/rack storage too. Definitely some options for you! PD2

Just make sure you're running RAID5 or something with redundancy. Not exactly a good thing if THAT much data goes down the drain!
Then again, if you use Seagate drives...you could get away with it but I doubt you can ask for certain hardware such as that. Seagate for the win! -------------------- Your Parole Officer
