i don't actually run Suns; but we were told some preliminary
measurements from sgi. they get about 2MB/s thru the
filesystem (actaully better but who's counting) on 3MB/s drives
and this performance roughly scaled up with the 6MB/s drive.
(i am being professionally vague here; i can't remember if this was
nondisclosure or not.) when we actually get some delivered
from sgi, i'll let you know.
