Raid and other storage stories

[Kent Schumacher <kent@structural-wood.com>]

I'm brainstorming (with myself!) storage solutions for a
Linux based X-Windows applications server.

What are people out there using?

Internal SCSI RAID, external SCSI attached RAID, NAS, SAN, ???.

How do you rate things for performance, price, and reliability?
Are there any things to be concerned about under linux?

I'm not looking for definitive HOWTO's, I'm just wondering about
the groups personal experiences and opinions.

Reliability is probably primary.  I would like to set it up, lock
my office door, crawl out the window and walk down the tracks to
the bar every day for the next five years without any inconvenient
admin crap to do...

We all have our dreams...
