You should check out this dilbert I first saw on Chad’s site. Encapsulates the situation succinctly.

I must say sometimes these flame wars are useful, you can learn a lot by reading them. (depending on the topic of course) Especially the ones between EMC and NetApp have proofed to be educational, thanks Vaughn and Chad

But I do agree, tweeting just to call out a competitor is not done.

Ha! Yeah a food vendor, and I love food so much that I have nothing bad to say about any food vendor.

Hey Eric,

Any chance you will be able to do some performance tests using both the hardware/software iSCSI iniators? It would be interesting to see the I/O perfromance and CPU numbers for each iniator.

Comment on New storage toys and new storage woes by esiebert7625

Sounds like they may have had a bad batch of drives from Seagate. I think the manufacture date on mine was pretty recent also. I got mine from Fry’s also who seemed to have the lowest price than anyone for $599.

I had the same issue with My Iomega IX2-200 2TB device. I had to return my unit twice to Frys. The original one and the replacement. Finally the 3rd unit had both 1TB drives working.

My 3rd device had a manufacture date of 10-29-2009. The two that both had a failed harddrive shared the date of 12-23-2009.

You can check the date before purchasing since the manufacture date is printed near the UPC barcode.

Just for the sake of sharing, I picked my IX2-200 2 TB up at Frys for $269.00. I’m planning on getting another in the coming months to play with replication and disaster recovery (From a virtualization stand point)
