We have a very similar setup for our students. About 2000 users. We limit their storage to 15mb. I only had 6 drives to work with. Drives are:
18gb raid 1 for OS and logs. I split it into 2 9gb partitions. 1 for os and the other for logs. 4 18gb raid 5 for database.
I don’t know if this is the optimal performance setup but it has worked just fine for us. It is on a single processor 933 with 1.5gb of ram. We even had a drive fail during the first week of operation and it didn’t miss a beat.
Storage groups are split into a group of classes. Databases are spilt up into the class year.
Storage group: 2001-2005 Databases: Classof2001 Classof2002 Classof2003 Classof2004 Classof2005 Storage group: 2006-2010 Databases: etc….
Also, if you are running Advanced Server, check out this article about having more then 1gb of ram. http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q266096
