We're probably getting out of the realm of interest to investors, but the SPOF issue with EMC is real, and all of the other features (except for the cache electonics) of their engines mentioned in your response are also available in even the $599.00 Mylex PCI RAID adapters. But for the record, IBM's shark doesn't have the common cache SPOF. I do however, agree with you that none of these make any difference in the grand scheme of things, and my terse initial comment wasn't a slam on you or EMC. It was more of a reality check to balance an overabundance of marketing fluff that might make non-technical people think that EMC's hardware is extraordinary. It isn't. Their software is. If all of the clariion product was compatible with the symmetrix software, then clariion HW would probably outsell the EMC HW. That's it, thanks for letting me step on the soapbox a bit. David
