Based on what Ed posted and what you've said Aaron, I should be able to convince the director to upgrade the server and, perhaps add a little memory, and NOT go with defrag software. (But since my PAR is coming up in 60 days, I think I'll leave off the "idiot" part.)

You'll need to do some proper analysis to determine where the performance may be suffering. 5) Your director is an idiot. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Chinnery, Paul Posted At: Monday, July 16, 2007 12:26 PM Posted To: Exchange Mailing List Conversation: PerfectDisk Subject: RE: PerfectDisk Sometimes when someone clicks on an email to open it, there is some latency. The director said that when he emails an attachment >5 meg, he says it'll hang (but this is not an everyday occurrence).

What "performance" problems have you noticed? -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Chinnery, Paul Sent: Monday, July 16, 2007 11:08 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: PerfectDisk We're running Exchange 2000 on a W2K server. My director pointed me to PerfectDisk by Raxco as a possible tool to "speed up" Exchange response. I was wondering if anyone is using this product and can let me know if it's worthwhile to look into it. As I noted, E2K STD with program files on C, logs on D and mailbox store on E (attached to SAN drive) and about 150 mailboxes.. I don't think defrag is an issue as much as we're running anti-virus and anti-spam on the same server.
