any i/o issues?  i had one of our db's one a 720..sure, it's old and
slow..but i need relatively low storage but high i/o on it.  the 720
BLEW.   soon as i put it on the symm the process ran in like 15 mins
opposed to 8 hours.

i don't think i want a db on a nas box for a while.  it was gigE with
jumbo frames
