Hi. I'm looking for affordable external storage options for Sun Hardware. I have a SunFire V880 and a Sun-Blade 1000 that may require some external capacity. Does the solution specifically have to say "Sun"? Or can I use like a Dell 210S?

thanks!

Anything is fine as long as it meets your support requirements. Even if you have a support contract with sun, it may be difficult to get support for problems with 3rd party storage.
I'm using a bunch of EonStor A16F (FC-SATA-RAID) connected to my Suns.
You'll have to check if you have the right controller for your storage box. Another question is if you need an (native solaris) agent to monitor and configure your storage in-band or if the box has a network port for management and monitoring.
