Any word on the IOPS with the new TB drives?

.. compared to SGI's 6120, which can fit 1.2PB in a single rack with 60 2TB drives per 4u (i.e. 120TB) - an increase by a factor of 5.

our network admin can't stand the damn things and uses them for unimportant stuff. Netapp have proved far better in his experience...

...this array is almost as fast as a dead cow in the swamp. Not to mention the extreme reliability of two dozen sata drives - they are so proud of them they will give you four years less waranty than on SAS drives if you use the drives only every fifth day (20% duty cycle).
TO-TAL-LY AM-AZ-ING!!!eleven!
Sorry, I don´t have enough money to afford cheap arrays.
