Hmm 20 drives x 60GB (if laptop drives) = 1200GB=1.2TB
20 drives x 150GB (if desktop drives) = 3000GB=3.0TB
Impressive-RAID anyone?
Yes, we do use special cases to haul the drives and they are typically 200GB drives without enclosures.
Why? Well, I work for a legal technology consulting firm that specializes in computer forensics, data harvesting and electronic data discovery. It is not out of the question for us to manage 5+ TBs worth of data for our clients.
