I have an 8830 dedicated to R2 volumes (SRDF mirrored volumes). I need more space but don't want to buy more hard disks, so I asked EMC to reformat the box from Raid 0+1 to Raid-S
However EMC says Raid-S is not longer convenient, since 72GB hard disks are to big for this raid. And the rebuild time when replacing a disk is so long that it can affect the availability.
Is it true? Does anyone has experience of raid-s with 72GB hard disk? (on symmetrix).
