I time bomb.

Say you need 100TB of storage, nothing super fast or expensive, but easily expandable and preferably managed as a single unit. Think archival-type storage, with content added frequently, but retrieved much less frequently, especially as time goes on. What do you go for these days?

As dumb as [H] can be sometimes, http://www.hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1393939 is a really solid thread on huge storage systems. Right now, the record holder has a system with 53.5TB of storage (http://www.hardforum.com/showpost.php?p=1034055907&postcount=113). Probably getting a rackmount case like http://www.hardforum.com/showpost.php?p=1033721267&postcount=4 would be ideal. The largest case on Newegg has 36 bays (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811165143), so you're definitely going to need at least 2 cases.

"100TB" and "nothing ... expensive" don't belong in the same sentence.

[edit]
Oh, wait. I thought this was the home NAS thread. The enterprise solution will likely be much more elegant.
