Ah, I hadn't seen that model.

Yep, I almost missed that fact (;

I also question the need, but it is a rather moot point when dealing
with hotswap backplanes. I tend to agree with your assessment up to a
point. Large SATA servers (16disks in a 3u chassis) are becoming one
of our hottest items for sale. Seems to fit the bill if quite a few
customers who need big storage, but can't afford the big cost of fibre
channel. Mostly these are companies who don't have an office in
another town (;
I do also agree though, that SCSI has advantages for many things, but
isn't the clear winner for everything. No technology that I've seen is
perfect for everybody for everything.
