With the right supplier, you can plug in literally 100 hard drives to a regular server with DAS and for a fraction of the cost of a SAN.
Ok, recently I have compared prices a NexSan SASBeast with 42 15K SAS drives with a HP MDS600 with 15K SAS drives. The first is 8gbit Fibre Channel, the last is 3Gbit DAS SAS. The fibre channel version is about 20% more expensive pr TB. So of course it is a "fraction of the cost of a SAN", but it is a fairly small one. -- Jesper -- Sent via pgsql-admin mailing list (pgsql-admin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-admin
