What's so special about this? 160TB per rack isn't that much. With 2TB drives in http://www.supermicro.com/products/chassis/2U/826/SC826TQ-R8... you can get 480TB per rack, and once http://www.supermicro.com/products/chassis/4U/847/SC847E16-R... comes out you'll be able to get 900TB per rack. Though cooling may become a challenge...

Anyone have any insight on pricing for a couple 2 TB nodes? I hate talking to salesmen just to get a ballpark price.

Hate to look like link-spam, but my company is about to blow this out of the water. Can't give out specs yet, but let's just say: > 1PB/rack. If you're interested, put your email addy in. We won't abuse it.

Capricorn was actually spun off from the Internet Archive project to develop the storage tech needed to, well, archive the Internet.
