    $930/Month for only 100GB is an insane amount of money for any kind of data. It's a real "stretch" of the imagination to think otherwise. 😉

    That comes out to $10,000 / year, which isn't a lot of money for a data archival system. 100 GB is enough to contain the entire CRM or purchase order system for a corporation the size of Microsoft.

    CRMs aren't what I'd need to archive and I still think that $10K is insane for storing only 100GB especially when you see something like the following (just a first search and NOT any kind of endorsement). https://listings.emergentsx.com/products/dell-equallogic-ps6500-48-x-2tb-7-2k-sata-iscsi-san-storage-system-ps6500e

    Yeah... I know... it's only 7.2K RPM but it's also for an "Archive" which won't be accessed much.

    RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
    First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
    ________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

    Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.
