Looks like the Sun 2530 array recently added in-band management over the
SAS (data) interface.  Maybe the SAS/SATA JBOD products will be able to
do the same.

So, how long before we can buy an NVRAM cache card or SSD that we can
put in a Thumper to make NFS go fast?  That, plus Solaris-10 bits to
use them, are what we're in need of.

Marion
