The cost per usable gigabyte of my F630's has received *considerable* executive scrutiny recently. So I'm just a leeeetle sensitive about this kind of thing.

So are you dead-set on living dangerously?

Maybe, maybe not. My experience with my existing (identical) F630's suggests I can get away with it. On the other hand, it's bad karma to turn away a life jacket when somebody offers you one "just in case." So I dunno.

Let's say, for the sake of argument, that I did decide to live dangerously. So...what's the best way to get a vol0 with one RAID group in it?
