The interface is looking OK, in spite of using Flash, and it seems to
be a pretty solid product.

Ran into a couple of interesting quirks however...

o- Dedupe is only available for the NAS facility, and we're using it
solely as an iSCSI appliance, so don't get the dedupe.

o- We can't create a partition greater than 1.999tb in iSCSI. Their
support web site says that it's a limitation of the SCSI 2 protocol
they're using, not a limitation of iSCSI, as such. They suggest, if
using ESX, to create extents. I'm supposing we could do the same in
Windows, but that seems like a less than optimal solution, and would
probably impact performance if nothing else.

Looks like I'm going to have to look at breaking apart some volumes. I
don't think it will be well received.
