I think that this is too true. Two observations support this: 1) The growing market for Solid State Disk (SSD) prior to the 3880-13 - HDS, EMC and STK (Amdahl?) were all shipping these boxes, and AFAIK at enormous margins.
2) The quick decline in SSD sales after the 3880-13, followed by a fatal blow with the introduction of the 3990-3 (and PCM equivalents).
