Another RAID quote
Written on the original Movable Type site and recovered from the Internet Archive.
Here is the configuration that vendor suggested for a RAID box for my home. The main difference is that he suggests dual Xeon, a SM chassis AND motherboard (good choice to match them) that has expansion to 16 slots, a 3Wire board for RAID instead of MB RAID (probably better), cheaper memory, hot swappable power supplies (which I don’t need). But it comes in at $3,899, or $2.60 per gig. And no faster system drive (which I think is important).
