Hmmm... I don't claim to be an expert on this at all, but from my reading, the architecture of SAS compared to FC-AL disks seems to be completely different. > Last but not least: your question likely comes from plan to cut the costs. In this case I would strongly consier other options, possibly much more cost effective. Well, sort of. We already have a Hitachi USP-VM open systems SAS disk that is much bigger than our mainframe storage and management would like to use that for mainframe disk too. Unless there are good reasons not to, that is probably what will happen. One of the things that concern us is that nobody else here in Australia is apparently using SAS disk for mainframe storage. If it is just as good for performance, reliability etc, but cheaper, I would have to ask the question why no one else is using it.
