If so, what models are you using and what kind of success have you had?

The EqualLogic SAN arrays I'm using at home are just too expensive to justify, so I bought an older Promise VTrak M500i and filled it with 2TB drives. It works like a champ, albeit, at a reduced speed from the EqualLogics. I can buy several Promise arrays for each EqualLogic, so the cost difference is significant and far outweighs the speed difference.

I have switched to solely using iSCSI in my home network. Fibre Channel was inconvinient and SCSI doesn't scale at all.
 
Yeah, hardware the price of a car seems just a tad expensive for "home use", and even those Promise are really expensive for this forum imho.
