The TeraServers: Oh how I remember back in 2002/2003 when I built the first beast. Back then 160gig drives were still pretty new and anything bigger was either too expensive or not in existence yet. The first TeraServer was exactly 1 TB using 8 160gig drives in Raid5. Once that filled up, I built another, Tx4 with 12 400 gig drives and that gave me 4 TB. Once that filled up it was time to stop messing around. Tx20 was born!
