Hi again David

"we know they perform as well or better in some cases than the FC models we use."

have you somekind of proof on that one, grafs ore arctichels,

That sound silly for me whit the small SATA interface, compared to FC :-)

As I stated before, please have your TC contact a local USPEED rep to run through the nubmers.

And forget the 3 GB vs 4 GB difference, let me ask you - if a highway has 4 lanes, is it 'slower' to dragrace down than an 8-lane highway? NO it is not. And the way SSD are most used - small random IOPS, it is a drag race, The width of that highway is immaterial. All for now, your meter has run out! ;-)

Can FC SSD disks hot spare SATA SSD disks.  We just tired a copy to hot spare on the CX4 and it will not let us select disks that dont match the exact type.

These are all flash drives. They just show up as different types of flash drives, fc ssd and sata ii ssd.

Only Flash drives can spare for another failing flash drive for performance reasons. So the behaviour that you are seeing is as expected.

Thanks Avi,

I got some clarification.  There are special rules related to proactive hot sparing that were restricting our use of the SSD host spare.  differing drive types accured because the spare takes the drive type from the source disk.
