I agree that if we can use the space 'all the same' is a better plan. But even with small customer test partitions 6 70GB drives works out to a LOT of storage.

With many of the partitions at iDevCloud (frequently ONE user) we are below the 6 arms recommendation (as few as 3) because how much I/O do you get with some editing and a compile or three. :-)

Sorry, Larry. I did indeed miss the word "usable". My
apologies!

For the record, I have to say my preference would be 6 units all
at 70 GB (as seen by the client).

However, is is possible a load source at 70 GB (as seen from the
client LPAR) plus 6 additional units sized appropriately to
provide the GBs needed by the hosted LPAR could be an effective
alternative when 420 GBs is simply way too much storage. ***But
the ENDALC tactic really should be used to prevent too many
accesses to the load source unit.*** In other words a total of
7 units for the client LPAR.
