I'm looking for a Dell MD3620F or comparable 24x 2.5" SFF fiber channel SAN for my lab. Ideally something with dual controllers but can live nicely in a 2U form factor with the ability to add additional disk shelves. The MD3620Fs will pop up from time to time on ebay for $800, so looking to stay around there. However, I could spend upwards of $2k for the right hardware, especially on something newer. I don't need HDD/SSDs, but want both controllers and PSUs included, and at least 8GB FC capability.
I'll entertain iSCSI, but am really wanting fiber channel. I know... Why would I do that to myself?
