They both use the exact same disks in a 570 and a 520. Its either SCSI or
SAS drives, and both are formatted at 520 bytes a sector, which is what
currently makes them different than the p-series drives at 512 bytes a
sector.

Do they use different disks for a 570 than what will go in a 520 at years
end?

At last month's LUG meeting on the Power merger I asked about prices
coming
down. We've wanted more disk space and $30/GB made us hold off. The answer
I
got from the IBMer from Rochester was that, at the time, only the 570 had
truly converged i and p part numbers. The 595 would be next in the
convergence process and the low end models like 550 and 520 would not
likely
have a single set of part numbers until the end of this year or the
beginning of next year.

I hear that pricing has come down for the POWER6 systems

Good, I am glad I am not the only one unable to figure out if a new
POWER6
520 can be reasonably priced on the hardware side. I would love to see
a
before and after comparison showing how much a stick of memory and a
hard
drive costs.

I was expecting Timothy Pricket Morgan to do such a write-up, but
haven't
seen anything yet (unless I missed it).

Anybody know the before and after?
