Is your 'disk buffer' on your enterprise disk? If so, how much does that cost you? You may have it available now, but there is still a cost there. Does it force you to buy more enterprise disk sooner than you would have? Is it mirrored? Do you chargeback for your disk usage? Things to think about. Good luck.
