However, I'm curious.... - Are you planning on mixing 140G drives with other size drives? - Will you combine the multiple drive sizes into a single ASP? - What IOA will you be using? If I were looking at the 140s, I wouldn't want to mix them with 35G or smaller drives in the same ASP. I'd be afraid the 140s would get cremated with requests while the 35s sit idle. Even if I was already using 70G drives, I might be concerned about how I mix and match. I'd also want to have the 2780 FC IOAs to get the big caches for read and write "buffering" of my IO requests. Of course, if you have the need for TBs, the 140s will certainly provide them. Just make sure you get enough of them to support the quantity of reads and writes you want to push at them.
