And a damn shame it is, too.

I've got a few 6200's in service, and that's wonderful.
Not too bad to configure, blazing fast, neat web-based monitor.
(Note: this is just RAID1.  I haven't tried, and wouldn't want to try,
RAID5 on them.  But they FLY on mirroring).

root% time dd if=/dev/twed0s1a of=/dev/null bs=16m count=20
20+0 records in
20+0 records out
335544320 bytes transferred in 9.448652 secs (35512401 bytes/sec)
0.000u 0.366s 0:09.46 3.8%      69+35667k 0+0io 0pf+0w

That's on a RAID1 with a pair of IBM 60GXP's (60 gig, 7200RPM).  I love
it.

Buy them up before they disappear, folks!
