You can use ATA DISKs with FASTTrack SAN. And the total amount of data 
stored increases a lot...

        Objet : Primary storage pool on disk


Hi,

I have a customer who wants to put his primary storage pool on disk.  This 
is
now 3TB and can grown up to 7TB.  Incremental backup is appr 300GB/night.

But I have some questions?
- What kind of disks should I use?  (the customer has a FastT from IBM 
with
fiber disks, but he wants a cheaper solution)
- What kind of raid level as protection?  Raid5, JBOD, Raild 0+1, ... ??
- Should I use a DISK type or FILE type storage pool?

Thx.

Stef
