I thought that was what was great about the R515's(2x 2.5" flex drive bays
and 12x 3.5" External Hot Swap)... they carry the same drive counts as the
R720xd's but.. online run ~$2300 cheaper when configured similarly.  Had
read that DreamHost uses them for their Ceph Cluster as well... figured
that was the reason.

Thanks much for the replies!
