You can now get 1 TB SSDs for ~$380, put 8 of these in RAID-10 (or 5 with HW RAID) shared over a 10 GBE NIC with NFS to workstations with 1 GBE / Jumbo frames.

Come on, I have seen 8 10k SCSI drives/RAID10 in a Windows 2000 box be used by "a couple hundred people". It wasn't great, but this setup would blow that away, esp. if the hosting machine as a decent amount of RAM (32 GB+). Yes I was suggesting NFS + jumboframes.
