Ah yes. The S3710s are 200GB, I guess the 240GB came from the 530s. ^o^
Also for use as journals the older 3700 is actually better suited, as it
has a higher sequential write rate.
In everything else the 3710 is faster.

Well, not the the monitors, but starting from scratch might actually be
the fastest way. 
Unless you have another 10 HDDs and 4 SSDs (1 per storage node) for
journals lying around, to get a "fair" comparison to your current install.

Realistically you would of course compare something that is about the same
size and cost, so more like 16 HDDs.
