How could I have missed that one! Maybe we can just use the term "Some Array of Disks" or "SAD" for short. Joe Bryn - you are absolutely right! How could I have missed that one!

Maybe we can just use the term “Some Array of Disks” or “SAD” for short.

Originally it stood for 'inexpensive' - so when did that change? I guess no-one calls fiberchannel or SCSI disks inexpensive. So you take the 'R' out because it's a lie, and you take the 'I' out because it's a lie too - what are you left with? Just an AD! So what are you really selling??? Bryn Thomas Hi Joe,
