Thanks to all those that responded advising me to put the A1000 on a separate controller card to improve I/O performance. "Kevin Buterbaugh" <Kevin.Buterbaugh@lifeway.com> told me that there is a limit of 15 drives per SCSI card and hence I may not even be able to see some of the drives on the new A1000 if I put it on the same card. We are planning on buying a SCSI card as well and spreading the 3 A1000s across the three available PCI buses.
