I'm looking for a nice new RAID for work. I'm not building one, I'm buying.

Some specs that I want:

~1TB
SATA II -> SCSI or SATA II that is standalone with gigabit ethernet

speaking of which, I also need a 48-port, gigabit switch, if you have suggestions.

My Budget is:

RAID - $5000
Switch - $800


I'm looking as well, I just don't keep up with this kinda stuff..

I'm not totally sure, but you may have to raise your numbers by about 50%.

Well, maybe. Don't know. The boss wants a new RAID with ~1TB for $5k and a new 48-port gigabit switch for $800.


I've found this so far:

http://www.raidweb.com/4830.html
1.7TB @ RAID5 #81-4830-250 $4,095. Order Now
Includes 8 250Gb SATA hard drives, 8Mb cache, 7200rpm.

We already have one of their RAIDs and it works well.



And this switch:

PowerConnect 5324
Managed Switch, 24 Port 10/100/1000 Mbps with 4 SFP combo ports $750
