Far as I know, Raid 1 can exist with only one drive too.

Personally, Id do all RAID5.
I think 100% uptime (RAID5 can exist with 1 failed disk) is better than the
small performance gain you get from RAID1

Subject: [ActiveDir] RAID configuration on DC's
Hello all,
I have the option to either build our site domain controllers/ global
catalog servers with the following configurations:
Array 1 (RAID 1): OS, SYSVOL & Page File
Array 2 (RAID 1): Transaction Logs
Array 3 (RAID 1): Database (NTDS.DIT)
OR
Array 1 (RAID 1): OS, SYSVOL & Page File
Array 2 (RAID 5): Transaction Logs & Database (NTDS.DIT)
Either On-line spare or nothing
Currently, I'm more swayed towards the first configuration only to see the
benefits of segregating the Logs from the Database.
I will be interested in viewing some of your comments.
BTW, the server will have 2GB of RAM and a high-end array controller. There is
only SCSI channel on this particular server though.
Rgds,
