you know they've just started shipping nearline SAS for a very small premium over SATA don't you?

Hmm? The last two quotes I got from my storage guy was about $11k for 3TB of SAS, and $9k for 5TB of SATA.

Option 1 with the 10x300 gig drives 15k sas $11342.63
Option 2 with the 10x450 gig drives 15k Sas $11920.16

Both with 4 hour onsite, 2 controllers snapshot and Volume Copy.

Shipping not included...

Sorry dont have a price quote for the sata handy. If anyone is interested i would be happy to quote it for you.
