You bet your 15k 73 GB disks will be much faster. I was involved in two situations with UNIX and DS8000 where customer insisted on having more capacity, they 'don't need' performance. When they hit the limits, they went to 73 GB 15k and saw the difference and only then they were happy.

Doesn't this indicate that my 73GB Drives are Faster and can deliver more MB/Sec? Or is there something in the DS8100 that limits the delivery somehow? (ie. Some kind of Bus speed or something).
