[QUOTE="Larry, post: 638980, member: 785"] Only problem with this is noise, heat and power consumption. Even just removing a few disks (some for raid set and some as spares) and using an old raid card can be noisy. I toss out old enterprise class machines about twice a year, and gave up using the stuff years ago. 5 X 15k rpm disks spinning are noisy, even in a big house! Best solution is to run the box out of a garage, although garages often get hot and have very fluctuating temperatures. That being said, the hardware I procure (mostly IBM, Lenovo now for the Intel based stuff) is definitely more resilient these days in that respect. Further to that - most true enterprise class disks aren't actually very big. 600 GB and bigger start to get lumped into "near line" class of disks. 2.5 inch 300 GB spindles for the win :D [/QUOTE]
