Say huh? For the same money? Even having to buy twice the disks, you'd still most likely end up cheaper than a filer. If this isn't the case for you, I want in on that discount.
There's no way you'd get two filers with X diskspace between them for anywhere near the price of some cheaper DAS with X diskspace, unless that DAS you're talking about is an EMC or something like that.
