That EMC sucks!!!! :) We lost yet another hard drive today on the CX-700. I would say I'm surprised, but lightning would strike me dead on the spot.
We are buying EMC Replication Manager, which will allow us to save a LOT of disk space. We currently have multiple copies of production for QA, UAT, Release, Enhancement Release, Mirror for parallel testing, Development, Backup, and Testing. That consumes a considerable amount of space. The SnapView technology from EMC lets you make a copy of production. You can then have one of the other environments look at a “snap” of that...
