I did search the archives, and there was very little discussion applicable to IMail 2006.

For spool and mail boxes, faster is better.

 

Do not user Raid5 for spool or mail boxes. Raid5 is poor on read.

 

Search the archives. There has been a lot of discussion about this in the past.

Hello All:

 

I haven't gotten any responses to any of my other questions that I've sent to the group, hopefully this one will.

 

I'm trying to spec out a new server and had a question for the group in regard to HDD configuration.  What kind of RAID setup works best on a mid-size Imail installation?  Is RAID-1 acceptable or is RAID-5 recommended? Also, would 15K RPM disks make a huge difference as opposed to 10K RPM disks?

 

Thanks,

Jim Frasch
