I’ve run through this exercise again – my old findings here
4 x 500 WD Black drives — in one big RAID 0 (128K blocks)
and again only using 500GB of capacity (roughly 1/4 of each of the drives)

P4000 / Lefthand – v9.5 feature list
The 9.5 release is a comprehensive release that includes enhancements in the following areas:
- Application managed snapshots for VMware ESX Server and Microsoft Hyper-V Server
- SAN Status Home Page — the SAN Status home page is the new home page for the CMC and presents key information for all management groups in the storage environment in a single view.
- Zero to VSA automated installation and deployment — Single installer can install VSA, FOM and CMC. Go from “zero” to a fully functional virtual SAN in just a few easy steps. Scriptable install tool allows ROBO customers to script install once and deploy VSA quickly at multiple remote locations.
- Peer Motion data mobility with cluster swap — Cluster swap allows users to replace or upgrade P4000 clusters. Edit cluster menu guides decisions about adding, removing, or exchanging storage systems. Easily migrate data online between tiers.
- Remote Copy performance improvements — Improvements to remote copy times, the time required to scan volumes, ability to support more frequent snapshots, reduction of RPOs for DR solutions.
- Storage Replication Adapter for Vsphere Site Recovery Manager 5.x — Supports automated failback and is included on the HP P4000 Application Integration Solution Pack
- Best Practice configuration wizards — Configuration wizards guide towards highest availability configurations: add Failover Manager for 2–node configuration, configure disk RAID 6 for single-node configurations, recommends volume replication when expanding clusters to more than one storage system

enable TRIM in windows 7
This command will confirm if TRIM has been auto-enabled by windows 7
fsutil behavior query disabledeletenotify
DisableDeleteNotify = 1 (Windows TRIM commands are disabled)
DisableDeleteNotify = 0 (Windows TRIM commands are enabled)
If you would like to force it on;
fsutil behavior set disabledeletenotify 0
