back to article HP iSCSI slogger usurped by younger flashy model

HP has announced an all-flash version of its LeftHand Networks P4000 iSCSI storage array, the P4900 Flash P4000s are supported already in the form of P4000 Virtual Storage Appliances (VSA) which uses DAS on linked servers and turns it into an iSCSI-accessed storage area network (SAN).

    DAS

    We have a 7.5TB TB HDD-based HP DAS of 25 disks in RAID 1 and they are super fast under windows (even though HP's disks are crap), at a tiny fraction of that price.

    You want to impress me with gigabytes per buck? Beat a BackBlaze box. Horses for courses.
