I'd say an F840 (I think that's what Glenn was suggesting). The 270 is an op limited machine. Dual core 650Mhz processor, and a gig of ram (subtract 256 for NVMEM) and you get a pretty limited box in terms of performance.
A 940 has a 1.8 ghz proc 4 or so gigs of memory, and a dedicated nvram card. Much better performance box. But a 270 wasn't marketed as a very fast box, but a very small, cheap box for small & remote offices.

Those numbers are deemed NetApp Internal Only - though I believe that Sales can share some info with you.
However this might help: a FAS270c is equivalent to a NetApp F840 system with respect to throughputhorsepower. Maybe just a tad faster even.
Glenn,
Just to be sure, you're talking about an F840 is roughtly equivilent to an FAS270, right? Not an F940?
