At random ! Bigger is better - here they went after Compuserve at the time. They only need one ! Been there, experienced that. No idea what IOPS is but is sounds so familiar to similar experiences here. That's BTW about 5 years ago. Some of us in certain parts of Europe (DE) went through this a few years ago - at least we had a good lawyer here to follow, track the stuff they were at and finally convince the equivalent of your highest big DA (apologies - forgot the US terminology right now) to a) forget the simplistic approach b) to accept a consensus of what was technically possible. To my own surprise it worked............after a few goats got hung.. Needless to say it cost time, effort and money and a lot of suffering for some individuals. What's my point; one can only ingore the law, be it good or bad, so long but at the end as an *SP (broadly defined) regardless of where on the planet you operate, you will have to try to conform. But - you need an org. of some sort to articulate what is possible and not - go for it ! Or a good lobby group.... Dave
