They can easily be, and I work with an application in which 2 2540s are ~ 1.5 times faster than a single 6140, but as you indicated the volume manager and volume layout are key. If using ZFS it is possible to become spindle bound, rather than cache or bus bound, so the extra 8 spindles the 2 2540s give are an advantage.

What I would recommend is that you ask Sun for both from their loaner pool and do some benchmarking with your application on both an choose whichever is better for you.

NAME
vgremove - remove a volume group SYNOPSIS
vgremove [-d|--debug] [-f|--force] [-h|-?|--help] [--noudevsync] [-t|--test] [-v|--verbose] VolumeGroupName [VolumeGroupName...] DESCRIPTION
vgremove allows you to remove one or more volume groups. If one or more physical volumes in the volume group are lost, consider vgreduce --removemissing to make the volume group metadata consistent again. If there are logical volumes that exist in the volume group, a prompt will be given to confirm removal. You can override the prompt with -f. OPTIONS
See lvm for common options. -f, --force Force the removal of any logical volumes on the volume group without confirmation. --noudevsync Disable udev synchronisation. The process will not wait for notification from udev. It will continue irrespective of any possible udev processing in the background. You should only use this if udev is not running or has rules that ignore the devices LVM2 cre- ates. SEE ALSO
