This server is a dedicated Exchange box, yes? Ben M.

It has 5 spindles (two 36 GB Raid 1 and three 70 GB Raid 5). (Presumably the Raid configuration could be changed.) What would be the best configuration for these drives in terms of RAID configuration and partitioning? I don't anticipate heavy use (approximately 55 mail boxes and no public folders). Thanks for your help.
