Don't forget you need to purchase a storage device to put a terabyte in. We have a third party app that wants 6TBs. We went with 1TB instead and won't hold as much data as we would like. Of course we intend on increasing that after. We use mostly HP here so we are getting a FC60 with 12 disks (I think). Much more then 10K.

"RAID 1 is fine if you have infinite storage (read: Infinite Budget). Try buying an extra TB of disk just for the fun of it and see what your budget committee does to you :-)"

Kind of agree. Get an IBM Deskstar model...close to 100 GB....buy ten at maybe, what? a grand each......and VOILA a terabyte for about 10K.

Not exactly "infinite budget"!
