We are looking to purchase a Compaq Proliant ML370 1.2GHz, 512mb Ram with 3 x 36.4GB Hard drives in a raid 5 for our new Exchange Server. Is it worth the extra Expense to go for the 15,000rpm hard drives over the 10,000 rpm hard drives? The extra cost would be about £950 that's $1345. Would we see much extra performance? We are only a small company at the moment with 50 users. Your thoughts would be very welcome Kevan Dickinson Network Engineer Oxford Natural Products Plc The Stable Block Cornbury Park Charlbury Oxfordshire OX7 3EH Tel: +44 1608 813300 Dir: +44 1608 813333 Fax: +44 1608 813301 www.oxfordnaturalproducts.com Company No: 3554809 ***************************************************************** This email has been checked by the altohiway e-Sweeper Service ***************************************************************** List Charter and FAQ at: http://www.sunbelt-software.com/exchange_list_charter.htm List Charter and FAQ at: http://www.sunbelt-software.com/exchange_list_charter.htm
