Benefits to upgrade...

Faster
Dynamic Load Balancing: Ensures I/O is dynamically managed, balanced and shared equally across storage controllers reducing the risk of application performance imbalances.

SAS Architecture delivers improved performance: A full duplex, point-topoint architecture with up to 9600MB/sec of total system bandwidth and up to 32 links. To find out more download the ESG Analyst Whitepaper.

Stronger
Improved VMware integration leveraging Dynamic Load Balancing: When you VMotion between physical servers you have no risk of a LUN ownership conflict resulting in an application performance issue.

Implement Disaster Recovery: Repurpose your legacy array for Disaster Recovery.

Cheaper
Dynamic Load Balancing reduces storage management costs: Storage administrators are no longer required to manually set ownership between LUNs reducing management costs and the risk of performance bottlenecks.

Intermix drive trays means you buy less: SATA drives can now share drive trays with SAS drives, improving utilisation thus reducing your costs.

Greener
Improved power management reduces Carbon Footprint: SATA II disks will park their heads after two hours of inactivity to reduce energy consumption. System fans operate at variable speeds that are determined by the internal temperature of the system reducing energy needs.
