Our 6250 drive (Kennedy 9400) has worked out quite well for us.  I don't
believe there is a large time savings, because the drive doesn't have
any influance on the time it takes to traverse the filesystem.  We've had
little problem with reliability.  One thing that did make a noticeable
speedup in the filesave time was switching the node the drive was attached
to from a DSP-80 to a DSP-90.
