Performance concerns with using large LUNs versus smallers ones

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

  • Any performance concerns with using large luns versus smaller ones?
  • As far as the OS io subsystem is concerned would there be any significant performance difference between offering up a 1TB LUN from an aggregate, over 2 x 500gb LUNS from the same aggregate ( ie same splindle set)?
