It's a good question. But there are, AFAIK, clear differences, most likely
in the controllers. One of hte benefits of the iSeries is its ability to
detect faults very early, and to report them. That's part of the hardware.

Still, you might look at network storage (SAN?), ot at the xSeries
integration, where you can get lots of storage on an NT or whatever and
manage it from the 400.

Just ideas - others will know more.
