Here is a much better question:

Has anyone tried any of those 2TB network enclosures you see being
sold at places like Microcenter? They claim to have a Gigabit
interface. I was wondering if they could be made to play with a DS10
running a hobbiest license. I don't mind leaving the boot disk on the
DS10, but was thinking it would make getting 2TB of storage worth
while if I could spread it across many machines.

I only have a passing interest in this. My Alpha is currently powered
off. Other than sending out an email when the SOA book is finally
printed, I don't have plans to turn it back on. If HP hadn't
completely and officially abandoned OpenVMS, I might have followed
through in helping to port PostGreSQL to OpenVMS so we could have a
REAL database which was OpenSource on the platform. (MySQL is
OpenSource, but not a REAL database. The InnoDB it actually uses is
now owned by Oracle and Oracle will be squeezing that orange shortly.)

The 2TB boxes interest me only because I could share disk space
between my Ubuntu workstation, Ubuntu notebook, and Alpha. I was
hoping to avoid setting up yet another server to be a file server. I
could have left Netware running if I wanted to do that. Then again,
this only works if there is a reasonably cheap GigaBit card for the
DS10 and if I upgrade my internal office network to GigaBit.

Please be a little more careful with your attributions and/or trimming!!

Sorry, I nuked a bit too much trying to be polite and note quote the
entire thing.
