In fact, Server 2008 and above do better - they align on a 1MB boundary, not just a 64K boundary. :-P

That was certainly the case in 2008.

I found info on Exchange 2003 and 2007, specifically with Windows 2003. Obviously we're going to run this on Windows 2008 R2 64bit. The system drives are (3) 146GB 10K SAS RAID1 with spare. The database drives are (12) 1TB 7.2K SATA RAID10. So does the same information that applies to Windows 2003 and Exchange 2003/2007 apply to Windows 2008 R2 64 and Exchange 2010? -Paul --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to listmana...@lyris.sunbeltsoftware.com with the body: unsubscribe exchangelist --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to listmana...@lyris.sunbeltsoftware.com with the body: unsubscribe exchangelist --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to listmana...@lyris.sunbeltsoftware.com with the body: unsubscribe exchangelist --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to listmana...@lyris.sunbeltsoftware.com with the body: unsubscribe exchangelist
