I also subscribe to the "almost commodity hardware" philosophy,

dedicated storage racks with integrated hw RAID and fiber SCSI
interconnect --> definitely not commodity.
I've used these:

(8 drives in a 3U case), and their variants

(12 disks in a 3U case)
Interesting ad, with a masonic emblem, and a picture of a white case
with a note saying it's only available in black. Of course the hardware
may be perfectly fine, but I wouldn't count on color.
for several years with good results. Not the cheapest on the block though,
but never had any real issues with them.
