Multi-TeraByte Storage Bricks

Redesigning Multi-TeraByte Storage Bricks

This is a bit dated (June 2003), but I think its a viable design. I think a scaled down version could be a viable home SAN.

My current concern is power consumption and noise. As I walk through my home in the dark, all I see are blinky lights. TiVo in the family room, the basement is 'alive' with lights and noise from the server rack (unfinished side of the basement). My upstairs office is has two wireless access points, a switch, wireless phone, print server, cable modem and two UPS's.

Yikes!
