Disk Array

Is it possible/okay to store SQL 2K's .mdf's and .ldf's on a disk array?
I would like to attach a SCSI disk array to my server box in order to have
more scaleable storage solution. I have found some information about SAN's
but I don't see why I cannot use a less-expensive disk array to acheive the
same goal. Has anyone tried anything like this before? Thanks....
-dougLocally attached SCSI disk arrays are fine for many environments and quite
common in my experience. SAN solutions are more robust but also more
expensive. We consider SANs for VLDBs and/or storage for multiple servers.

Hope this helps.
