I think I'd say that the StoreVault units are nice if you need a couple of TB
of temp/cheap storage to throw at people when they aren't doing anything
important.  They're better than slapping Linux on a Dell w/ a MD1000, IMO, but
they're no filer.

For anything that you'd care about, I'd probably just buy a FAS2020 or
2050 (don't bother with the 200-series anymore).  They're more expensive
than a StoreVault, though not outrageously so, and you get more software
features, better support, etc, etc.
