The article mentions Fusion IO drives for $2k/TB; any idea who sells them at that price? If I check [1], it's a lot more expencive. At $2k/TB, it would be worth it to buy and compare it to our Netezza. If it can compete, awesome, if not, I can beef up one of our normal SQL servers.

But that's still more for resellers or large quantity buyers. I wasn't planning on getting 100TB; I was just looking for 1-2TB to load a demo set and compare to some of the stuff we do on our netezza. It's too bad there is no Microsoft Technology Center near where I could take this for a test drive...
