I've run both the Fujitsu 1.2 GB and H-P's 1 GB drive on my A3000. The
Fujitsu was considerably faster. DiskSpeed 3.1 reported a peak read
speed of 1.9 megabytes/sec, and the H-P "only" :-) reached 1.5
megabytes/sec. This was on an A3000, you probably won't reach those
speeds on any other controller, but the Hardframe or A2091 should be
fairly close. Both drives have a 2 year warranty as I remember.
