Microsoft Server 2012 R2 and Disk Deduplication
With server 2012 recently added, has anyone tried using disk de-duplication in Server 2012 for users sandbox?
We keep all sandboxes on a remote server share, but the majority of used space comes from the duplication of data. But I'm unsure as to whether this would enhance our particular set-up or in fact ruin the metadata. We also have no means of trying this in our production environment.

Whilst not exciting, this could have a major enhancement to how we use RTC if it's proven to work successfully!
