How full is the 70Gb usable?

I would think the image catalog would still be faster since the DASD is faster than the CD/DVD drive. That is conditional however on how full the drives are.

A suggestion Can you temporary add a pair of drives to use for the upgrade? (I don't know of the slots for the drives are available or not)

I have a client that has a small ( 500CPW ) 520 with 3GB memory and 2 pairs
of 35GB drives Mirrored. Any have any idea if using an Image Catalog will be
faster on this system? I normally use Image Catalogs when I can where I can
load them up and start the upgrade and go get a nap whille it spins away
doing the upgrade. This upgrade is time sensitive and the less time I spend
the better. So would it be faster to come from the DVD's directly minimizing
the Disk I/O?

Thanks
