On the subject of more drives, what raid config is best from a performance standpoint for my DB? Are there any other considerations besides raw performance that I need to take into account? I like Raid1 because you don't get a performance hit if you lose a drive, unlike a Raid5 array. But does Raid5 perform better for some reason that I'm overlooking?

Why? They are just going to use it up again.

You need to get more drives though.

Exchange 5.5 SP4 on NT 4 SP5 Dell PE6300. Only have 12 MB free disk space on DB partition. Deleted Item Retention set to 0 days. I know that Exchange runs db maint automagically, but can I fire it off manually? I just had users delete 500+ MB and want to reclaim disk space fast.
