Only two LUNs per tray with 9 drives
Trays must be installed in pairs
Not switched fabric capable
Not Sun Cluster certified (!)
Configured over the network (built-in ethernet)
Very, very poor performance

Some of these issues may have been fixed with new firmware revisions, but
when I first demoed this array, after all the hype Sun had put into it (they
called it their EMC killer!) I was utterly turned off by it.

They would have been much better off with the A7000.
