It's not just the saving of a few euros. It's also
- Reduction in power consumption. That side car is going to suck energy
and require additional power feed(s).
- Increase in speed. The 70GB drives are 15K speed versus 10K speed. If
you're bad at math that's a 50% increase in speed. Extremely significant!
This speed will outweigh the additional disk arms you will be getting.
Been there, done that.
- Affect on cooling. You add a sidecar, you add BTU's.
You are running an i. Therefore you can have faith in your backups
(providing you follow the steps). Hundreds of us have done
unloads/reloads.
