Comparision
This isn't really a fair comparision for cost at all, after all the Coraid's devices are SATA and Gigabit Ethernet optimized. also the first comparision (package solution) is a load distributed solution providing a 10gb upstream connection aggregated, so it's quite superior to 19 kurobox/linkstations But still it's a fun comparision to see what opensource hardware and software can get you. The second comparision is probably a bit fairer.
Number 1
- 19 blades x 750GB = max 14.25TB
Number 2
- 15 blades x 750GB = max 11.25TB
Number 1
19 (4+15) blades (no included hard drives)
- Package - CLN20 + SR1520
- Total: $6195
vs
- 19 Kuro Box HG WR
- 19 x $149 each = $2831
- Linksys SRW2024 24-Port 10/100/1000 Gbit Switch with Webview
- $395
- Total: $3226
Open Source Saves you $2969
Number 2
15 blades no included hard drives
- SATA Storage - SR1520
- Total: $3996
- 15 Kuro Box HG WR
- 15 x $149 each = $2235
- NETGEAR GS116 16-port Gigabit Switch 10/100/1000 Mbps
- $167
- Total:$2402
Open Source Saves you $1594
Conclusion
As I said certainly not a fair comparison, the hardware is different (SATA vs PATA) and optimized from a ethernet switching standpoint. But still a savings of between $1600-$2700 is nothing to sneeze at! - Ramuk 23:57, 27 August 2006 (EDT)
