I do not have an FC-AL arrays at this time, although I know it is something that is rolling out.

The comments on reliability concern me a bit, at least for me, my NetApps have been "plug" and go.

No muss, no fuss.

Just curious if people are having trouble with their FC-Al disks on their Netapps...

No trouble so far (only had 'em since Feb). It's nice not having to run "disk swap". Just pull a bad drive out and slide in a replacement. Much better than the SCSI shelves.
