So you've heard some folks saying large mailboxes are a good idea. Your users have been screaming for mailboxes with more than 1GB quotas. Your management wants you to be able to recover from outages...

Your whitepaper says:
"Exchange 2007 now offers the ability to deploy a simple, inexpensive, and fast recovery solution that scales well for use with large mailboxes and also provides high availability. This solution is CCR on direct attached storage."
And many of your people are mention only benefits with DAS.
But your on articles:

"http://searchexchange.techtarget.com/tip/0,289483,sid43_gci1313923,00.html"
Speaks for SAN instead of DAS. And somehow in enterprise level the reason to switch from E2003 with SAN to E2007 with DAS are not so clear. And I mean environments where you have multiple servers with 4000 - 8000+ mailboxes per server and 50 SGs in each. But
still continuing with SAN is more reasonable solution e.g. in management point of view.
So is there any change to open this technology area more? Have Microsoft IT founded any pitfalls when using DAS for Exc2007?
