74 GByte SCSI Drives are arround 150-250 Euro. 150 GByte for 400-700
Euro and 300 GByte for 1000-1400 Euro. The prices for SCSI Harddrives
are not realy funny for End-Users
I have recenly bought a new 19" Server Case for 12 SCSI-Drives in Hot-
Swaps for my GDT and installed eight 300 GByte drives for storage (I
have a private Debian Mirror/Archive) and four 36 GByte drives for the
Operating System (3 x 5 GByte ) and Websites (23 VHosts with around
28 GByte currently)
Now the Machine hold an archive of OLD Debian packages of 1,1 TByte
plus one VHost for each release (Buzz, Rex, Bo, Hamm, Slinkl, Potato,
Woody, Sarge and Etch) where Etch is only i386 and Sid curenly not
synced.
Oh yes, I have plenty CD-Images too... but missing many on all
architectures. :-(

One of my FileServer has 15 IBM DDRS-39130 (each 9 GByte, and Raid-5)
on a AMI Megaraid Enterprise 1200 and it works like a charm...
No heavy load, but it works perfectly... Since 1997 (I think)...
First under WinNT 4.0 Server and since begining 2000 under Debian.
