The "problem" is more storage space (not C necessarily meaning more disk only), but I also am looking for info E about the newer configurations. For instance, how they compare/differ A to/from previous generations and specifically which RAxxxx is the  RA450 equivalent.    > G >   If the latter, can you provide some details on your current storage E >   configuration (if any) and on what requirements you need to meet? D >   (The required host, storage interconnect, storage capacity, RAIDF >   requirements, available floor and cabinet space, etc. would all be; >   quite helpful in suggesting particular configurations.)  > C >   The RAID Array 450 is usually comprised of a SW300 StorageWorks $ >   cabinet and an HSZ50 controller.  = Yes, that's the right beast. But, I don't think I have enough A background (application related etc.) to be specific enough about ? requirements. So for the moment I'm looking more to the former, ( like specifications and general ideas...  C Still, host is an AlphaServer 4000 with a pretty old (I guess, with D Ultra-3 now becoming popular) adapter connecting the storage system.F The "speed" and type of bus is Fast-wide differential SCSI. With aboutE 50 or more simultaneous users and looking at today's rates (80MB/s or ? even 160MB/s), the theoretical max. of 20MB/s seems a bit pale. C RAID level is currently adaptive 3/5 but that is likely to change.     > G >   The most recent HSZ series controllers are the HSZ70 and HSZ80, and E >   some of the available RAID Arrays include the RA3000, RA4000, and  >   RA7000.  >   G I have been reading up a little on that, not the "complete picture" yet C though.
