What are you talking about? Two pieces of anecdotes ALWAYS equals large scale facts!

ZFS is a great raid system. That's now owned by Oracle. Goodbye ZFS.

Yeah, the 16TB limit says OP is looking at VERY low end solutions. As in not feasible for petabyte range projects.

LOL at FC only for transactional DBs.

Also, VM environments. Large media servers, etc.

My solution:
Infortrend. It has iSCSI for you and your slow environment, and FC for me and my fast environment. And cheap enough for both.

Also, 300TB of RAID 10 at $100k is most likely 7k rpm. I much prefer 15k as it's performant for VMs even when full of running VMs. 7k drives never will be. Well, maybe if you put a nice fat SSD cache in front of it.

No?

As if any Justice Dept in the last 30 years has been effective.

Yes, god forbid we not be insensitive to others. That's just the worst.

racially insensitive (and for the record it's not).

Your opinion. And it's a wrong opinion. Try this. Go tell that bee joke to a black guy. See if he finds it funny, racist and/or insensitive.

Sorry, but since it was obviously a racist joke, I assumed you were also horribly ignorant.

I'm not sure I was wrong...

Just log off now. For everyone's sake.

Yep. The obvious point that you miss is, if we kill off the bees quicker, do we also kill off ourselves quicker?

Or are you just too shortsighted to see that?

I save a lot of internet traffic by not installing flash at all & using Chrome only for flash required things (hate your tech decision, VMware!)

Not sure it's a valid representation.

Maybe HuluPlus just wants $10 more/person?
And next year, maybe it's $15 more...so more/bigger/higher$ ads.

LOL. As if web proxies have issues with https anymore.

LOL.

Not sure about years. In the last year, foreign investment was allowed to come into the market, which brought a huge influx of cash.

They've gone up 100% in the last year, and down 30% in the last month.

I'd take that performance most days.
