I think you should use raid 1 with the 9gig drives x 2. One arm for the OS and one arm for the logs. Even at 400 users I could see the performance increase by putting the logs on a different arm. Why would this save you money? Even if you put the Logs and OS on the same Channel but different a

I don't think that you can/should put your OS on a RAID5. Standard practice is Mirror the OS, RAID5 everything else. GL! -Original Message- From: Vincent Avallone [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, October 11, 2002 3:56 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: Getting Close to my final

I think it's poor design. Use Raid 1 for the logs. If you're short of spindles put the OS on the same volume as the logs (Raid 1 for the OS is still a good bet). I've never seen such a document. I wrote one once while still at MS; it wasn't approved for publishing because TPTB thought it was too
