A pure SAS SAN (especially 12Gb SAS) would be as fast or faster than a FC SAN at a fraction of the price, while staying much easier to setup and maintain than a FC setup. Other than the distance limitation of SAS, there aren’t really much in the way of known downsides. Of course there is way too much still unknown at this point. Getting CacheCade Pro 2.0 working on the shared raid array is critical in my opinion. Also it doesn’t say if this is going to be all new raid cards, a purchased firmware upgrade, etc as well as other requirements or limitations.

There is still 6 months or so before it gets released so I’ll just play the waiting game!
