I recently talked a Seagate rep about drives. He said a few interesting
things. There is apparently a second version of the Wren 7 Elite. This
version fits form factor and dissipates 37 watts ( as opposed to the
original 45 ). Its capacity is 1.6Gb unformatted. It is my guess
this will produce a 1350 Mb file system when the whole disk is used.
Also, the Wren 8 is just around the corner. It has a 1.6Gb unformatted
capacity, but is not as fast or as hot as the new Wren 7 Elite.
These drives will be hard to get but available late this year.
The question is, does the 3.3 fx deal with these drives as well as it
deals with the rest of the Seagate line?
Any words from the halls of SGI?
PS
The 3.3 kernel is great. When used with enough memory, it has a major
impact on our disk-intensive image crunching. Thanks.
