We have 3 NetApp boxes and they are nice. Once you configure them the only
thing needed is replacing disks once in a while and its a snap. 
Installing them was a different story. The procedure is trivial, but they
kept sending us wrong parts (trays with mixture of 110 and 220V power
supplies, bad simms, wrong part ## etc. - lasted months). If you like
bitching the (whatever they have for) brains out of sales people - this
thing will be a lot of fun.
We currently have 2.5 Tb on NetApps.
