Thanks Berny,
I am just running thru setting up a virtual infrastructure, and was researching
iscsi as an option to host VM's. My understanding is that iscsi is scsi
commands over ip, but the storage array (SAN) disks would have to be scsi of
some sort, but maybe I have got it all wrong. I would be installing exchange
2003 and 2007, and possibly sql 2005, just as a test environment. Hear that
sinces these apps and block data apps, they are best used with SAN.

What do you want it for?
If it's for archive data, then SATA is a lot cheaper and the disks are
larger. If you want it for databases or anything high performance, you
want to look at FC / SCSI / SAS.
iSCSI is just another way to get to your data, you still have to look
at how much bandwidth you need to the storage system, and how much
throughput you do on the disk.
