The only reason for the 3390-3, was I had already had some defined (DS8100), so I used them.

I do wonder what kind of storage system you have that you insist on 3390-3 (instead of, say, two 3390-9). But then 3390-A are a DS8000-only feature, I guess? I liked it being arbitrary-sized very much. Of course there might be performance considerations, but not necessarily when you then need to tie six 3390-3 together for space reasons.
