Comparision
This isn't really a fair comparision for cost at all, after all the Coraid's devices are SATA and Gigabit Ethernet optimized. 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.
- 15 blades x 750GB = max 11.25TB
15 blades no included hard drives
- SATA Storage - SR1520
- Total: $3996
vs
- 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 Coraid hardware is different (SATA vs PATA) and optimized from a ethernet switching standpoint vs the Kurobox/Linkstation.
But still a savings of $1600 is nothing to sneeze at!
