2530/2540 array cache size vs. 6140

Greetings,

Needing some new storage we are considering the new 2540 array. Everything looks great except the cache size is up to 1GB. 512MB per controller. We are currently using 3510 storage arrays with dual controllers and 1GB cache per controller.

So at this point I'm thinking we should opt to go with a 6140 instead.

We've ruled out the 3510 just because we'd like this storage to take us 3-4 years down the road.

Any thoughts on this?

Thanks.

IMHO the 2540 is placed as "low cost entry" storage system, midrange is 6140/2GB and 4GB. everything higher: 6540/9990 ;)i personally prefer ST6140/2GB as "entry" (better scalabality, nice IOPS)-- randy
