>Our disk array is a hitachi 7700e escon attached. Oooo, that's too bad. Simple tests here show copying/formatting twice as fast on a more modern ESCON EMC box (DMX2000) and about 4x as fast if on new FICON HDS disk. The 7700E is quite old; your maintenance $ on it might easily pay for something new.
