Shame.  Nice cards.  Got any suggestions for new gear?

We've found that given the bigger market share of SCSI as opposed to  
FCAL drives, whilst the price differential between SCSI and FCAL is  
minimal, in terms of acquiring the hardware, the JBOD chassis, and  
the inevitable RMAs, SCSI wins hands down.

I'd love to go complete FCAL, but right now it just doesn't really  
seem to be an option.  More's the pity :(
