Has anyone given any thought about the SeeK Accelerator by Seek System.
Their storage device can work with the HP3000. They are much cheaper than
EMC (i.e E.M.C. price /10) and they claim to have excellent performance
http://www.seek.com They can mirror Ldev 1, use standard Seagate or IBM
10,000 rpm drive. They have write gattering cache, read cache,etc..
