Ummm... you know that these aren't NAS devices, right?
If you'd like to tell us what you're trying to do, someone will
probably be able to point you in the right direction.

Uhmmm.. You know that HDS recently introduced NAS modules for their AMS/WMS
gear, right? CIFS and NFS for now, iSCSI appearently later in the year..

Ah. Yes. Thanks for the correction Rob. I'd completely forgotten
about the NAS modules for these. My brain was having a day off. :D
I will say... NFS good, CIFS not so good. HDS want to move into the
NAS market and take on NetApp, with whom they used to partner, but I
think it'll be quite a while before they can offer a truly comparative
product.

| Thanks for the responses everyone.
Do you know if the HDS products perform as poorly as SAN devices? We
are looking for a SAN device for our data center. Sorry for the
confusion about NAS.
Thanks,
Todd

IME, HDS arrays tend to perform very well. The Japanese engineers
take performance very seriously. Having said that, the results you
see will depend on what configuration you have and that depends on
what you want to do with it.
As Rob said, HDS are right up there with EMC and IBM, certainly
top-tier.

| If you want an enterprise class NAS server, choose the NetApps products.
They are heads above the competition. Equallogics rocks for iSCSI, EMC for
SAN, HP for Virtualization in SAN. In my opinion, these are the best
solutions in these areas. Certainly there are other manufacturues that play
in each area that are very good as well, but in my 15+ years experience, you
can't go wrong with the above recommendations.
