It's no practice at all if they're not on seperate spindles.
Just doesn't matter.

I've always heard best practice is to separate out the stores and logs,
and if you have the hardware, the swap and tmp, too.

If you are presuming that that is because the boot volume might fill up
because of log files - well, my opinion is that you should be monitoring
that situation.
And if you aren't, serves you right.

I wouldn't make that so complicated.
C: OS, applications, logs, pagefile
D: exchange db
While I always encourage people to "buy high", that's significantly more
"oomph" than you'll need for 75 users.

Just checking to see if this is the best way to utilize the drives that
I
have in this server for Exchange 2007.
My only question is about the Exchange Install drive. How much room
should
I use and does it grow at all?

Dell PowerEdge 2950
2 quad core 2.0ghz processors
8 Gb of RAM
2 x 15k 73Gb Drives
4 x 15k 146Gb Drives
RAID 1 = 2 73GB Drives
- OS, Exchange Install, Exchange log Files
C: 20Gb OS
D: 10Gb Exchange Install
E: 40Gb Exchange Log Files
RAID 5 = 4 x 146GB Drives
- Page File, Exchange DB
F: 10Gb Page File
G: 400Gb Exchange DB
Thanks for your input
Matt
