Say you set up a Windows Server Failover Cluster consisting of two nodes, on Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise.

Now when you want to configure quorum you can use either a remote shared folder, or a shared disk (unless your nodes are separated geographically).

I'd love to know more about when to use a disk witness and when to use a file share witness. What are the differences? Does it matter at all?
