The FWD SCSI subsystem I am talking about it NOT
a RAID box;  it is just five 4GB discs in a rack mount
enclosure.  Part number is C5265RZ;  GSA price we
paid right around $13,825 (don't recall what list price
is right now, and don't have time to look it up right now;
sorry;  got to run)...  Note believe this item just became
"official" within the last month.
