    I've done a failover cluster with an instance that had 1 600GB database and 1 1TB database. No storage problems (well, other than a badly designed very slow SAN)

    The size of the database isn't a factor in a cluster failover, the storage is shared, the ownership of the storage switches from one server to the other, there's nothing copied.

    Could you describe the problems more?
