>> According to Dataquest, NAS last year was a $68.2 million market and projected to become an $8.3 billion market in 2004. SAN was a $1.8 billion market last year, and expected to grow to $40.4 billion in 2004.

If you recall, I was skeptical of the $68.2M market size you cited for nas and didn't feel it passed the test of reasonableness based on ntap's sales..

I came across the following today:

news.cnet.com

<snip> Network Appliance has long been the leader in the NAS market, which researcher IDC projects will generate $4.1 billion in sales this year and $10.5 billion in 2003. <snip>

There seems to be a large disconnect between IDC's numbers and those you attributed to Dataquest. I think you may have accidentally dropped a digit or two.
