Re: 300ms?

I thought the same thing. In my experience the delay of accessing over a SAN is pretty much invisible when accessing data on a hard drive (the 'delay' is actually negative for writes because of the cache)

It only starts to matter with SSDs, but part of that is because no one had to care about latency to a SAN before because when you are waiting 20 ms on a hard drive who cares if the SAN switches are adding another millisecond on top of that?
