Just one thing you need to be careful, make sure you get the LXY4 firmware of the AII. You won't be able to find firmware upgrades if you gut LXQ1 or LXY1 (the only firmware upgrades found on ftp.quantum.com are for narrow AIIs). If you get LXQ1 like me, expect data losses and other unpleasant consequences under heavy load. (I called Quantum tech support, they said they'll let a technician call me but they never did....)
