Exactly. As soon as the OP mentioned a MSA30, it was clear they didn't mean
a RA81 class drive.

Abbreviations are ambigiuous things, and they need to be decoded based on
context. For example an unqualified "RMS" can be assumed to mean one thing
in an open source policy newsgroup, another thing in comp.arch.embedded,
and yet another thing here in comp.os.vms. :-)
