Do you have any benchmarks? I don't think we've benchmarked that system with payload yet, if that is what you mean, polishing usability. But I don't think there can be too much interesting, since big speeds don't require so many HDDs these days, but much smaller number of SSDs instead. This particular system is about capacity -- ~20PiB raw on 1248 disks in one ZFS pool. :) -- Alexander Motin
