So much knowledge in here I figure I would shoot this one. Looking for some
opinions on disk layout for a new SQL box Im building. This is what I am
thinking:
2x9GB Raid1 for OS and Apps.
2x18GB Raid1 for Tran Logs
6x18GB Raid5 for DB Files (1 hot spare)
Controller Will be a Mylex Extreme RAID 1164 with 64mb cache.
We have man random hits as well has lots of writing going on so Ive been not
too sure about the RAID5 since there will be a write penalty but Im thinking
that enabling the write cache will help this problem. The alternative is
RAID10 but that tacks on a few extra k of an already stretched budget.
I could also ditch the mirror for the OS/Apps and build a partition off the
RAID5, any opinions on that?
Thanks,Adrian
