Other than ignorance I see no way in which storage admin can be a nightmare, certainly as compared with OS or DB admin. As to cheap, as others have said, commodity disks are cheap proprietory disks that work with your specific storage solution aint. Until someone works out that there's a huge market for SANs that utilize off the shelf disks/switches etc. Received on Fri Mar 21 2003 - 14:52:19 CST
