    Marcus Lyall on this forum has posted the quote of 2010, in describing his experience putting together a “build it yourself SAN”.

    Marcus’ quote should be the answer to EVERY question on every forum, where someone is looking to “cheap out” and do it the wrong way.

    “BUY CHEAP – BUY TWICE” –

    thanks Marcus !

    nice!

    i made a lot of mistakes last year. my experiences really enforced the fact that Support is EVERYTHING. but this was probably the biggest lesson i learned:

    The time spent researching and testing a product and its support before the sale, is much cheaper than the time spent problem solving, calling, emailing, pulling your hair out and ultimately returning a product that you didn’t spend the time researching and testing beforehand.
