Editorial Review:
As routine business processes become increasingly data-dependent, companies are ramping up their storage infrastructures. But today's companies must weigh storage requirements against tightening budgets. Solutions must be cost-effective, scalable and accommodate a variety of storage requirements.IBM provides flexible business solutions that are designed to offer maximized price-to-performance ratios. IBM TotalStorage FAStT700 Storage Server is a full-Fiber Channel, Storage Area Net work (SAN) solution designed to provide the necessary performance at the right price. The newest members of the FAStT family, the FAStT700 Storage Server and FAStT FC-2 host bus adapter use today's most sophisticated Fiber Channel technology, which transfers data at the rate of 2 Gbps. This new technology allows large amounts of data to be consolidated for quicker, more efficient access and management. Buy what you need now, add more later. The FAStT700 is a scalable storage server designed to allow you to build on your initial investment. Simply upgrade, not replace as your needs increase. The FAStT700 scales from 36 GB to 16 TB of storage using 22 FAStT EXP500 expansion enclosures. Each expansion enclosure supports up to 10 Fiber Channel disk drives. Moreover, you can select the appropriate RAID level (from RAID levels 0, 1, 3, 5, and 10) to match an application or suit particular needs, helping you to extend and lever-age investments now and in the future.

I'm sick and tired of spending over $32,000 (before shipping) for a piece of equipment for my laptop, only to find that immediately after UPS rolls the crates up to my front door, I have to jump in the car to go to the computer parts store and buy a $3.95 cable!
Other than that bit of frustration, this thing is ideal for me and my wife to scan recipes into for future use while cooking! I also like the array of blinking lights. They are cool. I kind of feel like I'm Spock at the console ... Read More

Rating:  - A little expensive
Yeah that is my only gripe with this one.
At almost $30,000 I was expecting a mousepad to go with it but to my dismay I found out I had to shell another $2.60 to buy a matte-finish mousepad that will go well with its carbon-fibre casing. Well, you can't blame us average consumers if we sometimes expect to get our money's worth. Just imagine what I could buy with the $2.60 had they been considerate enough to ship it with one decent mousepad.
On a positive note, this little ... Read More

My 14 year old son recently embarked on a gene sequencing project. His trials generated massive amounts of data, so much so that his laptop's 4.2gb hard drive became overwhelmed.
The product arrived flawlessly. Within an hour, my son's data was being transferred through multiple gigabit ethernet channels to the storage array.
So far, there has been only one attempted break-in to our apartment. My son insists on keeping his networking equipment and automatic sequencers near ... Read More
