I received my EMC2 Orion SSD today... I have to say I'm impressed, it
definately is what we'd considering "Enterprise" these days...
The unit is, according to its manuals, 31.4" x 33.3" x 11.5", and weighs
roughly 275lbs.
The Orion has some nine slots in what looks like (but isn't) a full-size
3-connector VME bus cardcage. It has one "Director" (controller) card, and
five 64MB memory cards installed (320MB). In the rear of the unit is one
Maxtor 320MB SCSI disk, for offline backup, and two sealed lead-acid
batteries (So that in an emergency power off situation the unit can back
itself up to the internal SCSI disk and not lose data).

Now all I need is an IBM that can read from a IBM 3370/3380 DASD - which
is what the Orion emulates...
