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.

Heh. But really, what he said. The first things to go on the disks will be the spindle of kid's software so we can archive the cds instead of having to throw away broken cds.

Why is it that most people when you ask them if they have a cd burner they laugh nervously and say yeah, they burn a lot of music and look really surprised when I ask why they aren't using it to back up their data.
