From: Brian Desmond [mailto:br...@briandesmond.com] Sent: Thursday, May 28, 2009 5:38 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: Amusing The OP's requirement is not the norm. The perf improvements that were achieved by cutting this feature (which was conceived when say a 9GB SCSI drive cost a lot of money) far outweighs the storage requirement. Go in perfmon on your Exchange server and go under MSExchangeIS Private/Public or MSExchange Mailbox/Public and add the Single Instance Ratio counter to your perfmon. I bet it won't be as high as you think it is.

Not sure I like it. Disks may be cheap, but eliminating SIS would cause storage requirements to increase by an order of magnitude. The OP's situation is a prime example... Suddenly a 9 MB storage requirement becomes 2.7 GB storage requirement (if my math is right).

If it doesn't use it, does it use some similar technology? Or would the OP's 9 MB file now take 3000x9 MB of space?
