Thanks for everyone's input. It's clear that there's a lot of difference of opinion.
From what I can gather, than, so long as the storage appliance is supported/approved by Exchange/Microsoft, a solution involving thin provisioning using expanding disks would be ok? Just curious, is there is technical definition of a disk that the OS would see increasing on an as-needed basis, rather than being presented at 100GB and then being expanded elsewhere? I think that would be stupid, but wondering if it exists.
