RAM on the filer is being run to the very MAX of its specs (maybe more)... I hear that they have a fairly high failure rate on RAM that would otherwise work FINE in slower, less demanding systems (PC's).
'scuse me??? Really? I find this somewhat hard to believe...
60ns RAM is widely available, are you saying they're pushing the envelope on that?
I very much doubt the memory architecture on a NetApp is anything more sophisticated than Sun's memory architecture (and I almost guarantee Sun's memory architecture blows away low-end NetApps)...and Sun seem able to use fairly standard parts without too much failure.
Maybe I'm just missing the big picture...
