I'd like to see those notes if I can. We're on a NetApp device right now but when we upgrade our environment later this year we'll be moving storage to an Equallogic device. We have had some Subversion performance issues with large checkouts using the NetApp device. The Equallogic appears to be better-tuned in general (we've had no trouble running a 100GB SQL Server DB off it) but every little bit helps.
