unixronin: Sun Ultrasparc III CPU (Ultrasparc III)
Thursday, July 28th, 2005 05:07 pm

I am now the owner of a second Sun 711 multipack (6-slot UltraSCSI JBOD disk array) and four spare 336MHz UltraSparc-II processors for my Sun Ultra Enterprise 3000, for the princely sum of $40 shipped ... and $8 of that was PayPal's money.  As soon as I execute my plan to get both 711s inexpensively populated with 36GB disks, we'll have 396GB of RAID5 online on my NFS/Samba server, which should more than satisfy our network-attached-storage needs for the reasonably foreseeable future.
