Block size for StorageWorks DAT 40i?

[Johan Orö]

What is the default block size for the StorageWorks DAT 40i?

What are the possible values for block size on the StorageWorks DAT 40i?

What is the relation between block size and buffer size?

I searched the documentation for the above information.....is it available somewhere?
