Ha! I can beat that. I have three HSZ40-based shelf
racks
running. Well, without the racks, just the seven shelves
with the drives, the fans, and the cabling :) And three
times that, too :)
[yes, that stuff makes LOTS of noise..]

Heh... I've got a pair of the rack units in the storage area off the deck, each has
one shelf for HSZ50's, and three for disks. I powered one up once in the apartment,
way to noisy, way to much power. Besides, I've only got 4GB drives for both of them,
so for the cost of powering one of them I could probably buy a pair of 70GB+ disks and
shadow them.
My VMS server is just fine with a 36GB system disk and 3 4GB disks, I've been
seriously considering moving all the data to the 36GB disk, but I like the safety the 4GB
disks give (easier backups, and I can volume shadow them, though only one is at the
moment).
