Default Promise VessRAID?

Just saw these are out - anyone tried them? We've been using the m610i series for a few years and they work pretty well, but having the ability to put up to 80 drives in one array and the ability to use SAS drives sounds pretty awesome.

Would love to hear if anyone has any experience with the VR1840/30/20i series from Promise.

That would be pretty sick, but it's probably saturate any interface known to man (even 20Gbit Infiniband).

Did we already know that?

Exactly what are you trying to do that currently has the interface as the bottleneck in anything, let alone storage?
