If you need to deploy a mission critical DPT solution, until further
notice, use the SmartCache IV. It will be few weeks before coding is done
on the V series, and even then it will have to go through weeks of testing,
stress-testing and more testing. RAID solutions are typically deployed
when one really hates data loss. Use a proven technology until I gather
the courage and confidence to recommend the new generation.
