New 18TB Storage Server Built By TeraMaxx USA

Hi Folks,

Just wondering if anybody has seen the new 18TB storage server from
TeraMaxx USA. It's a 6U chassis with 36 drives and is capable of
multiple tasks other than just storage. Seems like a good system for
the price but I'm wondering if anybody see's a downside to having that
many drives in 6U's of space. The price is great and they even show
costs per GB of storage. They're at www.teramaxx.us if anybody is
interested. It just seems like a lot of power and storage capacity for
that chassis size... Any comments appreciated!

I would make sure the rack it's in has an A/C vent pointed at it with good
ventilation. Other than that, it looks nice.
