Dayem! I remember the DASD I supported was 988 MB and could only get 4 of them into a full size rack. Then we upgrades to EMC Harmonix 3’s and get 10 200 mb units into a rack. That gave us all of 2 gb.

I work for a major company that skimps on back office hard drive/network space and processors. Of course, the whole system collapses every now and then resulting in hundreds of man hours of valuable lost. Technology is cheap it is the people who are expensive.

estimates the price at $8k, based on an earlier model costing around $1k per TB and factoring in a discount.
