| Im considering consolidating the database storage for several sql server boxes onto a NAS system. I'd like to use SMB/CIFS for this. Does anyone know how sql server performs using either of these protocols? Or has any recommendations in terms of hardware at the low end of the market ~150Gb |

| We are running our databases on a NAS system. It runs very, very, very fast. The solution that we went with was Compaq's EVA solution. A lot of the vendors will allow you to test their solution for free in a test environment. I would recommend doing this so that you can test it out yourself.Tara |

| Sounds impressive, was that using SMB though? |
