I am currently building and FC4500 Array and I have a conflict between my software supplier and the advice I get from my hardware supplier regarding EMC storage.
Basically the software supplier wants to data spread across as many disks as possible and is requesting the use of 18GB disks. The hardware supplier suggests using 73GB disks saying that the arguments for spreading data across spindles are redundant in todays world.
Using 73GB disks will significantly reduce costs as the number of FC4X00 DAEs can be reduced.
Who is right and how can I prove to the software supplier that 73GB disks will be performant?
