It does except that you aren't accounting for 7200RPM vs 10k vs 15k vs
iSCSI vs FibreChannel etc...
You would have to literally do the math to figure it all out. Those 50
spindles were DAS. You go iSCSI and all of a sudden you have turned
those 50 spindles into and effective 8 DAS spindles. Not to mention if
you only have a single path for your FibreChannel etc...
