our production lpar has 74 - 70GB drives in it.  Been with 70GB drives for
a few years.  We dropped from 42 arms down to 7 with these new drives,
etc, on our development lpar and got much better performance.

Re: New 520+ Shipment







I think 35gb would probably be considered the standard, but we only buy
them every 3 years or so!

Here's a chart with the base prices for the current 520 models:

MES? CEC?  Any idea how much higher the price is for a full speed (
3800 CPW ) CPU?

what do those controllers gain you?  more cache?  Does the disk
