Yes Raid 10 for the data and at least a mirror for the Logs. The more spindles the better on the raid 10, and get as much cache you can afford on the controller.

I have a Dell PE2950, with 6 146GB SAS drives, which I believe have come from the factory in a RAID5. Was just wondering if I should redo the RAID into a RAID10 situation, which I understand has the best I/O performance. The databases will be SQL, although I believe we'd also be moving an old Foxpro database over.
