RE: iSeries Disk Pricing

We're not comparing IBM PC hard drives to 8gig iSeries drives.  We're
comparing 1gig iSeries drives to 17gig iSeries drives.  In a heave
multi-user environment, arms are vital to reasonable service rates.  It's a
matter of queuing theory more than anything.

If you have one teller serving a line of customers who works quite fast, how
fast would he have to work to be able to equal 10 tellers are working 50%
slower?
