The recommended system would be:

1 RAID1 for OS
1 RAID1 for transaction logs only
1 RAID1 or RAID5 for databases and other

Subject: Exchange Hardware Requirements


We're about to upgrade the server we're running Exchange 5.5 on. I have
read that the recommended disk configuration is a mirrored set for the
operating system and logs and a RAID 5 array for the stores. Also I've
looked around on Microsoft's site for hardware and configuration
recommendations but anything that I've found seems incredibly
inadequate. I was wondering if anyone has any better information on
this. We have about 300 mailboxes and included in that are 100 mobile
users who synchronize during the day. We also have auto emailing PC's
that churn out about 1500 emails a day.
