You must be thinking of a different kind of RAID. Last I checked
software RAID was something to do with roach spray. Thanks, Brian Desmond [EMAIL PROTECTED] c - 312.731.3132 From:

Behalf Of Darren Mar-Elia Software RAID is where the OS (in this case) handles the striping
of the data rather than the hardware (usually the controller). From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of joe o Software RAID? What's that? o Yeah I am not a fan of mirrors. I like lots of spindles. But
then I tend to work with big busy directories with Exchange beating
on it. Being 64 bit you don't have to worry _as much_ assuming you have
enough RAM to cache your entire DIT but you still have to load that baby in the
first place so I would still recommend RAID 0+1, 10, or 5 or if you don't care
about fault tolerance the fastest is RAID-0. o I would say if you are going 64 bit, make sure you make it a
priority to get enough RAM to hold your entire DIT. That is the cool thing
about getting 64 bit. -- O'Reilly Active Directory Third Edition - http://www.joeware.net/win/ad3e.htm From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Al Mulnick There would be a little more to gain than that but often
that's the reason. joe might point out that a two mirror configuration is
not his optimal configuration. I'm pretty sure he'd also point out that
compared with software raid, that he'd take that option. :) I can honestly say I'd agree with him on this one. Software
mirroring for this type of application is never a good idea. The slower
spindle speeds likely won't be enough of an issue to matter in your
configuration. Unless you have a very large DIT <queue jokes here> or
applications that pound the snot out of the individual servers spindle speed
won't be nearly as important. Since it's 64 bit you're after, spend some money
on the memory and take advantage of the cache as much as you can. Al On 6/22/06, Noah Eiger <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: What would the partitions on the first configuration gain
