Hi all,

I enjoyed the article. The informaton here is accurate. I am in the stages of a SAN implementation. We have purchased and taken delivery of our SAN. We have 14 x 146GB (15K) FC drives and 14 x 250 (10K) SATA drives.

In planning our SQL SAN implementation we were advised that for SQL, it was better not to just create a huge LUN and divvy up the space into logical drives. We will be creating mirrored drives for both the database and log files. The SATA space is where we will do snapshot and D2D backups of our data. The SATA area will also provide some sandbox functionality for our IT and programming department.

We were told that mirrored sets were the way to go for performance. Any comments?
