Servers and disks are too fast these days, NTFS for all!
And
actually, in the "old" days it was the logs drive that you wanted to be FAT.

Subject: RE: 5.5 Raid Config (more Info)Okay,Here is how the God's of Exchange trained me @ Marriott International. Mirror your System and Log drives, RAID 5 for your Data. This is the fastest and most efficient.GaryList Charter and FAQ at:-----Original Message-----

Subject: RE: 5.5 Raid Config (more Info)Thanks for the input- but there are performance/tolerance advantages if you use RAID 1 and 0 for the OS and Transaction logs (?), and RAID 5 for the IS/DS. I am looking for that exact config for my 7 SCSI drives.List Charter and FAQ at:-----Original Message-----

Subject: RE: 5.5 Raid Config3 9gb drives should do just fine, same disk space AND fault tolerance. If you chose to use software level raid you would lose alot of proc. time to it. Hardware level RAID 5 with todays RAID controllers you should not see any loose in performance.GaryList Charter and FAQ at:-----Original Message-----

Subject: 5.5 Raid ConfigI need to set up a new Exchange Server and am looking for anything that Microsoft has written about Exchange 5.5: RAID/Performance. I am being asked why I can just buy a single 18G SCSI disk instead of multiple disks with mirroring and RAID 5. (Also want to know why (3) 9G Scsi's with RAID 5 isn't good enough for me.)I know this has been BEAT TO DEATH, but could someone please direct me to anything that MS has written on this subject so that I can print it out? I am in the Disaster Recovery White Paper and am not finding the suggested Config. It's not in my New Riders 5.5 book either.Thanks in advance.
