Absolutely.
If I had an IRIX box right now, it would be spinning rust or an SSD. One day I
hope to have a Crimson and a Fuel.
Any 3b2 is going to be significantly slower.
I still remember when I had my first 600G (not GR) that got upgraded to (3) 327
Mb drives. I was very excited that I had *just shy* of 1 Gig of hard disk
storage space available.
Very different times.

Not personally (yet) but for a while I've been looking at comments in the
Nekochan forums, thinking about using it on one of my SGIs. Consensus is that
it's rather slow. Not so slow that it's awful on an Indy (apart maybe from
booting), but noticeably slower than people expect on faster machines. The
ACARD ones seem to be faster. Perhaps it won't matter for older machines.
