Data Deduplication - Good to have, no problems here but others have horror stories -- test and proceed with caution.

Depends on what you need. If you're expecting 10:1 compression, yeah, not worth it. But if you need to squeeze every ounce of space out of your storage, then it can be. I've seen between 20 and 30% Dedupe on two different systems. Saved us 600 gigs on one side and ~900 GB on another.
Definitely still a proceed with caution.
