        I've never had any experience with these.

        The current SUN Storage arrays has some limitations when replacing a failed drive. I hear the next product will address this problem. If it does, we will re-evaluate it for any future pruchases.

        Works well, I've never had a problem with a total disk failure.  It's recovered from failed drives properly. Yes I am still buying storageworks.

        Also works well. Has always recovered from failed drives for me. I would buy again if it made sense for the environment I was putting it in.
