I have about 800 300GB drives across a bunch of FAS980s and R200s and about 400 144GB drives across a bunch of F880s/FAS960s/FAS270s according to DFM.
Throughput seems fine, although I have done any specific benchmarks. The high density reduces space/power/cooling requirements, which has its own benefits.

Hi,
Does anybody have any experience or comments on the use of a single DS14MK2 with 300GB drives versus two DS14MK2 with 144GB dirves. I would have thought that throughput, reliability and on-going costs would be better with the 144s.
Any comments or advice appreciated.
Ta,
- Michael
