We have LH - a 4tb raw pair with two-way replication. I have 4 LUNs (about 3.3 after formatting, etc.) - a 250g for some VMs, then three from 750g to 1.5t for our file server.
I'm working with management to get another unit in to expand the set - we're right around 90% full, and growing. Fortunately, it's in the budget for this year.
