RE: iSeries Disk Pricing - your questions

Rob,

The estimate I gave in my example was based on experience, faster
controllers, higher rotational speed, and a desire for a little more
room.  It was an off-the-cuff example which mirrors some direct
experiences I've had.

I'm aware of no differences in seek times, data transfer rates, on-board
cache, or rotational speed between the 8.5 and 17 GB drives.

Regards,
Andy Nolen-Parkhouse
