RE: %ASP Used




From: "Jones, John (US)" <John.Jones@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

I'll always spec more disk if I'm starting to get over 75-85% on a
consistent basis, but over the past 3 or 4 years, the number of arms and
speed of the disks has been more relevant here and I've been nowhere
near the threshold.  So, my production machine is suffering at about 33%
used right now.  Yet I still go after the app guys for cleanup as
another concern is keeping the backup window under control.

FWIW, the production machine is a 730 with 65 17.5GB drives, 2 ASPs, and
RAID5.


Your production machine is "suffering" because of too few arms or because of disks
that aren't spinning fast enough? Or were you being facetious???
