Tera-Byte+ fileservers

[pac@fortuitous.com]

 Anyone know what makes a good inexpensive TeraByte fileserver?
 Specifically looking for something between 1TB and 100TB.
 This would run XFS for sure.

I'd like to put together several systems, in both IDE and SCSI version.

1. Is there a decent IDE-raid card that can support over a Terabyte?
   Is there such a thing as a hot-swappable IDE raid card?
   Whats the fastest thru-put I can expect out of an IDE raid setup?
   Does an IDE TB server even make sense?

2. Is SCA the way to go for scsi? What cards, backplanes, drives
   can you recommend?
   Whats the fastest thru-put I can expect out of an SCSI raid setup?

3. Whats the fastest throughput i can get away with? Gigabit ether?
   Is there another interface that makes more sense?

 Thanks,

-phil
