Actually dave, I was thinking about getting one of the 3500GB units for my back -up. It sure beats burning DVD's:
Server
What do you think?

Well... the application in question sometimes crashed, but I put the fault on the app (Basic under Unix ) and not the SO.
The solution was very simple, we "killed" the session.
The software guys connected remotely by modem to fix the reported errors, and I had this feeling that the app was actually in development, not fully tested.
SCO Unix was bullet-proof, and the hardware in question too.
4 years up and runnin'.
Until a day that one of the hard disks gave up the ghost and I had to install SCO Unix on diskettes (more than 30 ) and recover a tape backup.

I also miss MS-DOS, better than Windows.
My batch-files were quite , very advanced.

I notice that the link is a timed link so you have to go into the RAID Servers to see it

You need another room for the server products... they don't have fans, they have blowers

Probably makes more sense for home use to just buy terabyte (1000 GB) LaCie external firewire drives. By the time you use up the space and buy the 4th one (to equal above), the cost of the last one will probably be a 1/4 of the cost of the 1st one.

And you can pick them up and put them under your arm. (6.3 x 3.4 x 10.6 in. / 173 x 88 268 mm (LxWxH))

That guy is stronger than he looks... the 1TB LaCie's are small, but weigh a ton
