  I'm thinking about adding some external mass storage to my Xen system, and I 
see a
number of 1U (I pay by the U at my colo) SAN devices that offer iSCSI. Not too 
many offer
AoE. For cheap performance, AoE seems preferable since it has less overhead. 
Since the SAN
is going to be right next to the Xen box, the routability of iSCSI isn't a 
factor for me.
Just big, cheap and fast.

  Anyone have any insights they want to throw out from facing a similar 
situation?
