We recently here picked up a adtx san and are having good results with it. It's pretty flexible, having dual 4gb fc controllers and also dual sas controllers do you can run it as attached sas or fc. Both have their advantages and unfortuantely I didn't have time to do much benchmarking becuase we had to get the unit into production pretty quickly. With both controllers running (we did dual 7 drive raid 5 + hot spare) we were able to push about 550 mb/sec onto the unit using a dual ported qlogic fc hba. This was on 750g sata disks :) you can also put sas drives in it for more of a db oriented box. The seeks were good but not great, about 400 on each side, but I have a feeling this could be optmiized playing with various software/hardware raid strategies which we didn't have time to do (this is set up as a file server, not a db server). At some point in the future we are gearing up a new database server and I get to set it up one or two more as attached sas, which should be interesting. While these are not brain-busting 'Luke Lonergan' realm numbers, it's a very solid unit and comes cheap in my opinion. merlin
