They do have distributors: http://www.stec-inc.com/support/global_contact.php http://tinyurl.com/y2lrse2 http://www.stec-inc.com/support/oem_regional_sales_contacts.php?region=USA&subregion=New%20York And though they do cost a pretty penny, getting the same number of IOps out of a stack of 15 krpm disks would probably cost a lot more in hardware, power, and cooling. _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
