Unexpected source of knowledge

Well, I never thought I'd find something useful there, but sure enough, the Something Awful forum has a section called Serious Hardware / Software Crap, and it should be noted that Something Awful isn't generally work-safe.

Today, thanks to Chris Siebenmann's wiki blog, I was searching for more information on SANs and I chanced on this thread, entitled "Why's my NAS a SAN?". It's actually a good source of information, particularly the first post, if you haven't quite gotten the hang of the how/why of Storage Area Networks.

So if you've got time and you can take the occasional childish behavior, add Something Awful to your list of forums to look through.
