There is a curve that shows with small total disk capacity, Internal disk is cheaper and eventually SAN Disk is cheaper as total capacity goes up.

That curve continues to shift downward. The crossover point used to be in the double digit TB numbers but now it's far lower than that.

THEN consider all the things you can do with SAN storage that internal storage cannot and most likely will never do and there is big value in moving outside the box for your storage.

If the goal is to reduce costs will buying a 5010E to do this just shift the cost to now paying maintenance, electricity, cooling, etc for that? Plus infrastructure and complexity?
Would that be less than the maintenance costs of having disk expansion units in your P9?
