Thanks for the info Bob. Yes I remember the 8GB data file days. I'm looking at a 3TB warehouse so i'm probably going to look at trying to keep files...

Thanks for the info guys. Tim do you have any sort of general rule as to when you add another file to your data or index file groups? For example...

Santosh, Can you describe your storage. You mention RAID 5, who is the storage provider? Internal or external disk?
