Greetings,

Looking to implement some 'disk as disk' with NetWorker 7.1.3 running on a 
Linux RH ES 3 server.

Done some testing with an iSCSI storage array which worked well but that 
storage is planned for other things.

Just looking to throw some disk on our server for now and use it that way (no 
SAN environment at this time).
So I was just wondering if anybody has bought some lower priced ATA storage 
array and used it for this purpose and would like to share their experience. I 
was intriged by the Apple Xserve RAID array's price which for about $10,000 
would give me the storage I need (<3TB).

I'm leaning towards some sort of a Networked Storae array vs some basic 
external array as I could more easily re-use it later if the cost is not 
significantly higher.
