RE: How long to initialize disk?

[rob@xxxxxxxxx]

8GB drives, concurrently, in 20 minutes. That's 2.5minutes/GB.

That's a lot better than the IBM estimate of 7 to 15 minutes/GB.

That would change our lowball estimate from 112 minutes, or 1.9 hours, to
40 minutes.

We are moving several drives from one iSeries to our new 840-2418-1542
(geepers is that sob huge!).  Any estimates on how long it will take to
initialize the following:

qty  model
30   6717
45   6718
