    I don't understand the "Added fiber... moving from legacy" thing

    Hey!!! We implemented a storage technology from 1978 to be able to emulate an LSI SAS controller or Buslogic controller with no acceleration across a network topology we specifically designed to handle the archaic nearly 40 year old protocol which was broken... but less broken that other things then and hasn't fixed the underlying problems up until now.

    So what we're saying "Now that we're supporting the most legacy crap protocol on the market which will be a core business for us, you can use us to move away from legacy!"

    They are serially trying to make a really fast 40 year old storage system and call it modern?
