Re: small i & power systems (disk performance)

[rob@xxxxxxxxx]

Somewhere in the archives I have an entry where I moved from 42 disk arms 
down to 7 and got a much better performance picture.  I ran BPCS period 
end's and everything to compare.  And the machine with the 42 disk arms 
had it's lan cable yanked and was pretty much dedicated to that testing 
with most other tasks ended.  The 'live' machine was not so constrained 
yet still had great performance doing the same tests with active comm and 
users working away on it.

Today's newer drives and controllers will blow the doors off of those.
