With 24 x 400GB drives that would be almost 10TB. At that much disk space, we would have to be careful to make sure it could be written to quickly (over 100Mb/sec line running flat out, it is a bit under 1TB/day)
also, cooling tends to be a big design issue.
We tend to have 1 CPU per 4 drives, but it is interesting to look at other configurations.
Anyone have experience with these boxes?

Two supermicro SATA boards (8 ports each) would go well with one of the 3U 16 bay cases (part of the reason these cases are expensive are the hotswap trays)

This way we did not have to use one box which was overloaded in the first place.
