I wouldn't even think of running a db on the same box, despite its capacity. "some of them" getting 1 million hits per year could equate to 20k hits per day; which isn't the end o the world but its substantial. Then you throw in that there are going to be video downloads? And SATA drives and not SCSI?
I'd separate out the db to another box with at least a single SCSI drive (I'd feel better if it was a RAID5) and use SCSI drives for the RAID5 on the web box. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] Janitor, The Robertson Team mysecretbase.com ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| ColdFusion MX7 by Adobe® Dyncamically transform webcontent into Adobe PDF with new ColdFusion MX7.
