    All,

    We're adding another database to our production s80 and were looking at
    getting another 7133 SSA drawer, two more SSA cards, and 8 36g drives.
    Our reseller asked if i'd looked at the new FastT600 drawer (single FC
    drawer). i'd put two FC HBA's in the s80 and attach FastT600 directly.
    He said performance would be comparable, maybe even better than SSA. And
    the FastT drives are much cheaper than SSA. What are ya'lls
    thoughts on SSA vs the FastT600. thanks...
