Exchange ideally should be run on RAID 1+0 if at all possible, even if it
starts off with 4 disks although more is better and a SAN is preferable.
Get the Exchange guides from the MS Technet site and start reading ...
Good luck,

that the perf could be simply related to that.

That's a huge user base. Do you also have Exchange 2003

This is how Id configure a server
for peace of mind. One drive for the OS, and then a separate RAID 5 for
the data. When building the server from scratch, you can create an image
of the system drive after youre done. If the drive crashes,
you can just restore the image, restore any system

It doesnt really matter. The RAID controller has no idea
about the partition table. It just presents a LUN to the OS and the OS writes
to it.

One advantage of RAID 5 over RAID 1 mirroring is that with a RAID 5 hot
spare, 2 drives can fail and you don't lose the data which is not possible with
2 RAID 1 mirrored drives. However RAID 5 is faster. Another
advantage is that you have to buy double the disks for RAID 1 as compared with
