Emily,
             CCIE storage is unlike any other track. There is only 1 Rack
for Testing in the World at the present time. The wait time to get into the
lab can exceed 4 months sometimes. The cost of CCIE storage rack is more
than the cost of all the others racks (R&S,Security,Voice,SP) added
together. Nevertheless, it is definitely worth going for. Cisco is going to
play a very important role in Storage world in the coming years.

This is what I used when preparing for my CCIE Storage Lab Exam:

1) Lab Workbook from iementor (Highly Recommended).
2) CCIE storage bootcamp from Firefly communications ( They have an
excellent program for students preparing for CCIE Storage,
www.fireflycom.net).
3) Tons of hands on experience.

In the past year, I worked with a lot of leading CCIE training providers in
the US. They all seem interested in adding this track to their portfolio.
Unfortunately, Not a very high demand keeps many of them away from investing
$$$ on the gear.

Hope this helps.
