We went from F760c systems to F940c systems and have been completely satisfied. During the migration we pushed more than 12K ops/sec (mainly snapmirror) and the system was still very usable.

I am considering moving from the F760 systems to either F8XX or F900. I currently load my F760's with 500GB total and hit maximum nfs ops of around 5000. I want to increase the capacity per head unit by two. Would the F8xx or F9xx hangle upwards of 10K nfs ops/second easily?

I haven't seen 10k nfsops/s, but 8k in average over hours +snapmirror and stuff is possible at a F9XX. Looks like 10k (and more?) should be possible.
