With Raid5, even if you have 50 disks, you can only loose one at a time. If you loose another one before you have replaced the first that went down, you loose all the info on al the 50.
I don't get your point!

Trust me it sucks. I had one go down and before I could get another one one of the other two went down. Now I will never have just three. -----Original Message----- From: Robert Williams [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, April 25, 2002 4:02 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Need advice about an exchange HD setup I forgot to mention that I have about 250 mailboxes and my store is about 10 gigs...so I don't see a issue with using 3 18 gigs raid5 for the store....

I'd add a 4th HD to the raid 5 for Online Spare. there's also a bit in the FAQ about optimum HD config for exch55. I think it mentions a mirrored pair also just for the log's. bill -----Original Message----- From: Robert Williams [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, April 25, 2002 4:31 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: Need advice about an exchange HD setup I am moving my 5.5 server to a new box soon. It is a Dell 2550 with 1.2 gigs ram and 5 18gig 10k SCSI drives with 128Meg Raid I am planning to use the first 2 drives mirrored for the OS and the other 3 for a raid 5 stripe for exchange.... If this is or is not a good setup, then any advice would be appreciated. Thank You, Robert Williams Senior Network Administrator Raypak, Inc.
