Hi Larry

Considering a new machine configuration...

Will SAN upgrade / degrade performance of Write-intensive applications ?
(Compared to 7TB internal disks?)

TIA

Sure VIO can do that but SAN better choice.
You get things like easy tier to move hot data to SSD and cold data away.

You get flash copy for doing backups at a point in time that's not stuck
while you are doing the backups.

You can add drawers on the fly unlike internal disk. There are also more
disk options with SAN as well.

I do NOT hate internal disk, reliable and predictable for decades but
SAN disk brings options that internal doesn't.

18TB, I'd be on SAN for sure.
