Swimmer Posted April 25, 2006 CID Share Posted April 25, 2006 alright.. short of calling I was able to "price" this system out.. Here is what I came up with.. Seagate NL35 147gb FC drive currently sells for $1,100 (far short of the 500 per drive and yes they do make a 500gb fc drive but it is only available through data storage manufactures..) So just for drives you are looking in the range of 3-6 million.. My guess that shipping/installation is going to be around 3-5 grand.. So.. my best guess would be that this system is some where between 8-10 million Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlewis23 Posted April 25, 2006 Author CID Share Posted April 25, 2006 . So.. my best guess would be that this system is some where between 8-10 million that seems fair for that amount of storage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FiosFiend Posted April 26, 2006 CID Share Posted April 26, 2006 What I found more interesting on this page was that Seagate is coming out with a 750GM drive. http://www.dailytech.com/article.aspx?newsid=1896 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swimmer Posted April 26, 2006 CID Share Posted April 26, 2006 yeah.. I doubt that this type of equipement will move to sata any time soon. Fibre channel is pretty much the standard.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

resopalrabotnick Posted April 26, 2006 CID Share Posted April 26, 2006 it's not a bug it's a feature. you call it mar-ke-ting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlewis23 Posted April 26, 2006 Author CID Share Posted April 26, 2006 it's not a bug it's a feature. you call it mar-ke-ting. its not a feature, its just are lazy, the hd manufactures still think that 1000kb = 1mb but the rest of the world, and all other computer related companies know that 1024kb = 1mb, if the HD manufactures would change just 1 thing in there manufacturing technique, when you buy a 200GB drive you actually get 200GB not 185GB drive.

php Posted April 27, 2006 CID Share Posted April 27, 2006 Nah, I'd call it marketing. They can sell you a 185GB drive and call it a 200GB drive. Legally. Meaning you might need another drive sooner. Which means more business. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swimmer Posted April 27, 2006 CID Share Posted April 27, 2006 you cant by the 500gb fc drives anywhere.. they are manufactured for manufactures of storage system only. The biggest FC drive that you can get from seagate is 146gb. Based off that price of $1100 per drive time 2760 is $3,036,000 I figure that those 500gb drives are at least double the price of the 146gb model.
