Yes, but the separation of transaction logs and databases in older versions of Exchange was more about recovering from failures than i/o profiles. What changed in Exchange 2010 is DAG replicas.
That being said, I still maintain logs and databases on separate spindles in my environment (I have 75,000 mailboxes, 3 replica DAG) because I maintain my AP-3 replica off-site for BC purposes. That replica could, potentially, end up running for an extended period of time as the only copy of the data... in which case I really would want the protection provided by isolating transaction logs and databases on separate spindles. -jim James Rupprecht Senior Systems Specialist Microsoft Exchange & Active Directory Administrator University of Kansas Information Technology From: Michael B.

The overall i/o profile of Exchange is different than in prior releases of Exchange. Even slow disk can typically handle both DB and log on the same physical volume. Regards, Michael B.
