The controllers on the DASD are more intelligent and talk to the OS to report errors before they die completely...Does a PC DISK do that. Also compare IBM's DASD 8.5G 10K rpm Ultra Fast Wide SCSI to the same PC DISK. There is not that much difference. By the way, IBM's can transfer data at 160MB / second. Can the PCs do that?

Subject: Re: DASD
The OS is software. My question is what makes the hardware of the DASD
worth so much more. I am trying to justify an upgrade to e-series AS/400. One of the main beefs my IT manager has is the huge difference in cost. It irks him so much that he is considering moving all the DB2 files to Oracle in spite of the millions of lines of legacy code we have on the 400. I need a better answer than it works better.
