Does anyone out there has any data about the performance difference between an
8000 fileserver with one of those 380meg trident (removable) disk and an
1108-turned 8000 fileserver with a 42meg local disk ?  Assuming that both
machines are only loaded with File Service and Clearinghouse Service and both
have the same amount of RAM and other hardware facilities are the same.

I know that the access time for the trident disk is about 51ms.  Does anyone
know the access time for the 42meg local disk on a typical 1108 ?

Any pointers will be much appreciated.
