Sun drive array

That's an RSM 2000. A controller box with up to 5 trays. It uses differential scsi to the controller, as well as from the controller to the array's. Each array can be used as a JBOD if you like. 4.3 GB disks were used if I remember correctly. The RSM was between the SSA10x and the A3500.
