I'd bet you can do what you want with that server/raid controller. I have a P400 controller in a similar server set up exactly like you suggest.
3 array's on one controller. And they say the disk i/o on exchange 2010 is not nearly as important as previous versions.

I'm looking at this server: http://www.cdw.com/shop/products/default.aspx?EDC=1723415 to be our next Exchange 2010 Enterprise server (currently running 2003 Ent. on 7 year old hardware.) What I'm wondering is, if I wanted to have a separate RAID array for the 1) OS and Exchange 2) Exchange data 3) Exchange logs... then do I need 3 RAID controllers? I've never set up multiple RAID arrays on a server before. Or do I even need to separate them out? Storage is not a big concern, but speed is.
