Mainframe DASD is the same as "X86" disks, at least for those using "storage arrays".
Pretty much all the smaller Mainframes are gone, many years ago. I've not heard of any successful replacement of a loaded system which used fewer than three times the initial projection of "X86-power".
Anyway, time will tell. In 10 years' time you'll still think X86 is faster and there'll still be Mainframes.
As to your last line, who is "they"? I'm just interested. Thanks.
