E3000 is working great. though i just use it for testing now since it was costing me over $50 a month to run.

Sun Blade 1000 and 2000 work just fine as long as you make sure to select the hardware support group so you get the firmware.

I have a T3 shelf that last i used worked just fine last i used it. It was really slow and smallish 256gb or so 0001:06:01.0 Fibre Channel: QLogic Corp.
