We're running at about 55% capacity, so we're fine there.  The
interesting thing about this thread to me is the activity issue.  Even
on our 640 production box, at the busiest time of the day, supporting
several hundred users, and OMS reporting 500,000+ database
transactions per hour being mirrored, I've never seen the disc drives
report more than 10% busy, and most of the time they're less than 5%.
