MS recommends 500MB not because that's what the quorum needs for space but
because that is the smallest optimal NTFS partition size. My quorums are
about 10MB on my prod DB systems.

True, 500MB is the MINIMUM recommended size for a Quorum/witness disk

(actual minimum optimal size for NTFS is closer to 400MB though, so with the
recommendation of 500, Microsoft is already taking a safety margin)

anything larger such as 1 or 2 GB will work perfecty well, and probably
easier to setup with current storage technologies

I guess the discussion is academic only... ;-)

rgds,
Edwin.
