RE: 515 Configuration Funny

From: Jones, John (US)

There are no 140GB 15K RPM SAS drives. Seagate is just this month
shipping their very first 15K 2.5" SAS drives in 36 & 73GB sizes.
Hitachi doesn't offer 10K RPM 2.5" disks let alone 15K units.

I don't think IBM had much choice in drive formfactor this time around.

The 3.5" Cheetah (146GB, 15K, 3GB/s SAS) was introduced in October of 2005.
HP has 300GB 15K drives at 3.5". But you're right that there are no 2.5"
drives; HP's highest capacity 2.5" drive is also 73GB.
