I love the the FastT disk, dirt cheap and can outpreform even ESS if
configured right. I also like the you can make changes for tuning on
the fly and see the gain/loss right away. It is much more flexible
that way. I even had an IBM'er preformace person do some testing and
now he is all FastT. I think IBM is pushing FastT because I heard and
cant find anything to back it up with, is that they want to move away
from SSA.
Going with FastT you can go wrong, and I would also use at least two
HBA's or more.
just my 2 cents.
