Exchange 2010 is such a great step forward.  We have moved all of the storage off the SAN and gone for 3 mail servers with DAS and JBOD.  So far it is working pretty well.

Also naming the storage groups in this way leads you to make assumptions.  I saw a number of users who were created and stored in the wrong group.  If
