We have a similar piece of equipment from Dell (the PowerEdge), and when we had a problem with it we received excellent service from them. When our raid controller went down (machine < 1 year old), Dell helped to diagnose the problem and installed a new one at our hosting facility, all within 24 hours.I realize there are people who discourage looking at Dell, but i've been very happy with a larger ball of equipment we ordered recently from them. Our database servers consist of a PowerEdge 2950 connected to a PowerVault MD1000 with a 1 meter SAS cable.
