<<Ron Torten, director of program marketing at Quantum, believes the adoption rate of Fibre Channel drives will continue to be somewhat slow, becoming mainstream in the 2004 time frame. Although storage area networks (SANs) will significantly drive the Fibre Channel market and although SANs themselves run on fiber, SCSI is less expensive at both the drive and subsystem level, says Torten.>> Don't I remember reading a posting recently (regarding Seagate?) that said that the manufacturing cost of an FC drive was less than a SCSI drive?
