What does your dataset look like? Homedirs, software development, chip development/simulation? And how many users..etc.

There is also a new high-performance (spindle rate/seek rate) 9G drive now as well for those special environments.

Subject: 18GB drive performance versus 36BG

I am considereing ordering a second F740 with 36BG drives. Big drives are nice, but there must be some tradeoffs: performance, restoration? If there is a significant performance difference I may go with the 18GB drives
