I have a 120 gig priv on a single 5.5 box.. Never had a problem when the power goes out and it has to reboot.

Hello. I have been told that Exchange 5.5 with IS bigger than 50G is VERY bad. It means there is big chance the IS won't start after restart..... I am wondering if this is true, meaning, this is an undocument limitation, and should I be afraid to have IS above 70G? The IS is on EMC. The server is very very strong and acts very fast....
