I guess it's handy to have 3 normal disks per node. Did you notice the recent discussions about 2U fans being better than 1U fans? This unit has 4 80mm fans. And it has only 2 (redundant) power supplies instead of the 4 you'd have with 2 1Us. >> offer the best of both worlds if blade servers and discreet rackable servers. > > I still don't really understand why blades are considered attractive... Most blade servers that I've looked at cost more than 1U servers. That's not very attractive. Then again, I buy 2Us mostly because I don't need extreme power density anyway. -- greg
