Sigh! Four years and folks are still trying the upsell the cloud. Maybe the NSA is offering an additional bonus? 😛

Most of us who've been in this business awhile...

It's not clear at all what you mean. You should provide a better description of what you are trying to model here.

Hey Steve

There's a formatting error in my article today that causes all the code to be outside code boxes. Should I fix this and re-submit or is this...

you can use a server side trace to get your workload. Then replay that against your new disk system and see what results you get. Change disks, do this again....

Not anytime soon. We tried a basic mobile app for the question of the day, but it didn't get much usage. Reformatting articles is possible, but the forums would require...

There are testing utilities, like SQLIO to measure raw performance. In terms of what your workload does, no one can tell you that. The workload on my disks doesn't apply...

Be careful of NAS. If there are any issues sending large backup files, the backups fail.

Managed a win, despite my team.

Romo is great for the season. Lots of numbers. He put on a show yesterday and I thoroughly enjoyed the same, but 500 yards, 48...

I doubt they can...

I might look through our scripts for something similar: http://www.sqlservercentral.com/search/?q=delete+old+backups&t=s&sort=relevance

Powershell is how I'd probably do this now, though VBScript works well. You can easily manipulate files and delete all but...

Personally I'd make sure I had separate disks for backups. You could put logs there or tempdb if you want, but if you lose data drives for some reason, make...
