[Antelope] data storage

[Gabe Plank]

Jurij-

Our current solution: we have ordered a Linux-based file server called 
the Relion 2712. It has 12x 1Tb enterprise-grade SATA disks at a cost of 
$180 apiece. Total cost was just shy of $5K. This unit has a connector 
that allows one to plug in an expansion enclosure with an additional 12 
drive bays, which can be populated with 2Tb enterprise-grade drives as 
they come available.

If you have a number of systems with drive space, you could also buy a 
bunch of 1Tb or 2Tb drives and put them on a Storage Area Network (SAN) 
system, which is a storage management and access system for distributed 
drivespace.
