Yes, Wirt with 4 hours to wait for HP to come on site I had plenty of time to
ponder.  This array sitting on the floor waiting to be installed is a HP
SureStore E Disk Array 12H with Autoraid.  I believe HP said it can be configured
either as raid1 or 5.
I also have a rather large box (standard shipment) from HP to upgrade from 5.5 to
6.0.  The RC told me that 6.0 has two patches that need to be installed for this
array, and they said softly "they are beta patches"!
So many options so little time to choose.
