well i have a large project, I need to create a "growable" store of data that is redundant as it will have archival media (audio and video). both will be HD quality media. so i am looking at a large pool fo data. i can build a NAS box that will last a while, but it will hit a terminal point of capacity. and it will be a single point of access so it will create access issues. So a SAN to distribute both load redundancy and allow for a growing capacity is kind of needed. and looking at most everything out there im leery of jumping on a hype bandwagon.
