RE: Saving the System i: Fight Rather Than Switch

Dudes.  Two arms is NOT enough on a system.  Seriously.  I wonder if
it's mirrored and is actually just one arm.  I could max out a box

like

that by pressing F10 really fast on a WRKACTJOB screen.  Size your
machine correctly before complaining about performance.


Your point being?

I'm sorry, that's just what IBM sells as an entry level system. Most
small business customers CAN'T afford to pay more, for more arms.
Remember, Disks cost about four times what normal (server, brand) disks
cost.

And most windows servers don't have a problem dishing out Exchange and
Files for 30 users with 2x15kRPM 70GB (System / DB Log), 2x10kRPM 147
(Data Storage).

Why should a simple Database machine not work with 2x36GB?
