It's looking pretty good based on the feature set.

very interesting, is this the JetStream under a different name??!! man ive been waiting for jetstream to see what it offers before i upgrade my array...

•Proprietary Ndurance Technology

oh god not throttling!

Hopefully they wont deal with throttling :)

Not sure why they are phrasing the optimized for compressed files like they do, the 4K-16K range is also pretty strange.

Unless they do compression or de-duplication it would have to handle any data just the same as every other non-compressing controller?
