I've spent quite some hours googling today. Am I totally wrong if the:
HP MSA-20/30/70 and Sun Oracle J4200's:
https://shop.sun.com/store/product/53a01251-2fce-11dc-9482-080020a9ed93
are of the same type just from "major" vendors.
That would enable me to reuse the existing server and moving to something
like Intel's X25-M 160GB disks with just a higher amount (25) in a MSA-70.

Jesper .. that's beginning to look like a decent plan.
