Ross, my current customer asked a question on the blog page for the previous release:
"Mike DiVergilio [Cox]
Since you cannot override the RAID settings when using 7.2K RPM drives, does this imply that Microsoft does not support that configuration? TechNet states you support all RAID types, but the calculator doesn't give you the latitude to make that decision. While you prefer RAID 1/0 when using slower disks, certain storage vendors have capabilities in the array that can offset some of the performance implication, such as storage pools, thin provisioning and fast cache."
Will you enable the Calc to show the details of a forced RAID 5, please Sir?
