Need a solution for 60TB+
What I want to do is eventually have about 60TB or more of DVD and BluRay ISO images online for my media server. Currently Im using a ReadyNAS Pro 6 and a ReadyNAS Ultra 6 each loaded with 3TB drive...
The site to purchase it is here: http://45drives.com/products/direct-wired-standard.php About $5400 US for one unit with non-redundant power supply (and it does come with the OS installed). Though I don't see any info about the OS.

of course that does not include OS, you would have to determine best os and raid format(s) to use
RAID format is an interesting question for 45 drives. Here's what backblaze does:
Each Storage Pod of 45 drives is logically divided into 3 RAID arrays utilizing RAID 6 for redundancy. Given the physical layout of a Storage Pod of 3 rows of 15 drives each, you might assume each row is a RAID array, but it’s not. In each row, every 3rd drive is a member of the same RAID array. This is done to spread a given array across all 9 of the backplanes the drives plug into. It also minimizes the impact on a given array if a backplane fails.
So they would allocate 6 drives for redundancy, giving you 156 TB if you used 45x4TB. And they'd provide 3 volumes.
