SFS97_R1 benchmark, 24 nodes of NetApp's new Data ONTAP GX high-performance operating system worked together under a single namespace to deliver 1,032,461 SPECsfs97_R1.v3 operations per second, with a corresponding overall response time of 1.53 milliseconds, a NetApp spokesperson said.

I doubt they're using IDE drives in RAID 0110T worth of SCSI drives (possibly in RAID 5) is a lot of drives O_o

They're having a hell of a time with that Vista DRM. Can't get any HD video to play.
