Hi.

I have the option of going with an atabeast from
nexsan, or a cx300 from dell (emc). Both have fiber.
It will be connected to a nfs-server with some TB of
data using a qlogic 2310 hba.

Will the cx300 have much higher throughput compared to
the atabeast? Which one should I go for? I'm primarily
"concerned" with io-performance.

regards
Claus
