You aren't buying 27 - 35GB drives just for arm count, are you? The newer drives, cache, etc are so much a better performer that arm count mostly becomes a thing of the past. What I really hate seeing is people filling up their systems with 35GB, or even 70GB drives for any reason like - arm count - budget says to wrap it all at once and I may not get permission to spend another dime on the i5 for 5 years. and then only use a small fraction of the disk space. What may happen is that you then use all available slots for older drives and then not even have enough space available to go to higher capacity drives. Expansion units really drive up the cost per GB. Rob Berendt
