For a truly high perf situation, you’re probably going be best with an OS Mirror, a RAID5 for the DB, and a mirror for the logs.

How big is your database and how busy will the DC be? This isn’t really relevant/an issue in smaller/medium size configs

Subject: [ActiveDir] disk configuration

 

I have a question about the best way to separate the AD DB and AD log files.
My standard server build is a Compaq DL380 with six 36GB drives and one Compaq Smart Array 5i Controller.

Normally I mirror the first two HD's for OS and apps use the other four
disks for RAID5 with hot spare.

For Active Directory would it be best to use my standard configuration and put
the AD DB on the mirror with the OS and put the AD log files on the RAID5 or
should I take the six disks and make three mirrors:

Mirror1 = OS and apps

Mirror2 = AD DB

Mirror3 = AD logs

 

Any advice would be appreciated.
