Actually I've already thougt of that since they are 10000rpm drives, so I drilled a small hole and put in a pipe connected to a vaccum cleaner works great you guy's should give it a try, you be amazed at the amount of crap that builds on those drives.

I prefer taking the disks apart regularly to dust (Pledge works best - it even leaves the server room smelling lemony fresh). We have RAID5+1, so I don't even need to take the box offline to do it. -----Original Message----- From: Soysal, Serdar [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, March 19, 2002 1:37 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: only 6 Mb after online defrag If you have drives that are faster than 7200rpm, tiny metal particles will collect on your disks because they spin so fast. You should clean these out by waving a powerful magnet over your disk drives.

Anyone recommend otherwise. Thanks for clearing the up the white space Mario Fernandez Network Administrator DataSynapse 632 Broadway 5th Floor New York, NY 10012 tel. (212) 842-8849 fax.

As you delete user mailboxes however, and Exchange defrags your Store, you will notice additional "white space." Don't worry about it. Exchange will reuse it as more mail is stored on your server.
