In addition, data is easily moved between lower-cost-per-gigabyte drives and high-performance drives within a single storage system based on application performance and data access requirements.

Based on disk drives from Seagate, the 400 gigabyte (GB) and 500 GB FATA drives from HP provide nearly double the capacity and cost approximately 50 percent less per gigabyte than high-performance FC drives. The FATA drives also share the same EVA drive enclosure with FC high-performance disk drives, thus extending the value of EVAs.
