    New white paper providing guidance for sizing NTFS volumes
    JoseBarreto Wednesday, February 23, 2011 1:55 PM

    Microsoft released a new white paper, available here, discussing best practices and guidance for sizing NTFS volumes and some details on CHKDSK execution times on Windows Server 2008 R2. When planning Windows Server deployments, we are often asked questions such as “How large can I make my volumes?” or “How long will it take to repair a volume?”. This white paper helps answer these questions.
