iSCSI hardware recommendations

I just had a SANS Digital EN104L+B (below) die on us after less than two weeks of service, and it was SLOOW before it broke.  Our problem was just like this guy's problem:

Before that we had openfiler which worked fine, thinking about going back to that.

However, we liked that the SANS digital was all in one unit and didn't require a host server like openfiler does.

are there any iSCSI units in the 1K - 2K range  like this one  that don't suck?
