true, but I don't really mind that |

I've got 600GB on both of my vmware ESXi hosts. I've got about 2.7TB usable (4TB raw) on my drobo. I've got a few more linux machines with 40GB-ish each that I use for misc purposes and a web host with good bandwidth. Also, amazon is offering free incoming bandwidth, so I'm figuring that for the next big pull, I'll just spin up a couple of spot instances on AWS and be done with it. |

iSCSI and linux's volume groups can make storage management really nice and flexible. I agree. |

In practice I might end up changing the topology of my hubs, or going from gigabit to 10 gigabit ethernet or whatever, but in theory I'd never have to change technologies because I ran out of pci slots or sata channels or room in the rack or got past the maximum length of a cable |

FreeNAS is based on freeBSD, so might be easier to support, I'm not sure. Personally, I think that iSCSI config under linux is not that easy to do either, but on ESXi is way easy, then just mount in linux as a device. |
