i ran ssas at my last place and we're just now putting in a fastt500 and a fastt200 at my new job. I like the fastts. Haven't run it enough yet to know the performance differences, but the specs show fc outperforming ssa, and the drives are MUCH cheaper. We got a refurbished fastt500 with 4 terabytes for just over double what my last company paid for one terabyte of ssa.

Subject: FastT600 vs SSA
All,
We're adding another database to our production s80 and were looking at
getting another 7133 SSA drawer, two more SSA cards, and 8 36g drives.
Our reseller asked if i'd looked at the new FastT600 drawer (single FC
drawer). i'd put two FC HBA's in the s80 and attach FastT600 directly.
He said performance would be comparable, maybe even better than SSA. And
the FastT drives are much cheaper than SSA. What are ya'lls
thoughts on SSA vs the FastT600. thanks...
