Thanks for sharing your findings.

Rule of thumb, regardless of what vendor you choose to go with, review their specific best practices

 

Netapp has them here:

EMC has them here:

Hitachi,

I looked but could not find their best practices.

My personal recommendation is to review what other vendors have to offer as well.

 

If you do a quick search on the net, you will find many.

 

Best Regards,
