I need a solid NAS solution that'll give 3-5 TB without costing 50K.<br>
I've been using<br>
a CoRAID solution I really liked but when doing an "mkfs" on a drive<br>
this morning<br>
it threw a bad block. As a result of dealing with the bad IO the NFS<br>
effectively<br>
stopped and the whole NAS basically stopped responding to NFS traffic which<br>
killed my ESX servers.<br>
<br>
I'd like to stay away from something requiring dedicated cables (Fibre<br>
channel, etc)<br>
if I can due to the overhead of replacing the existing gige NAS in place<br>
right now.<br>
